How to Make No-Bake Avalanche Cookies

Follow these steps to create your own avalanche of flavors:

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients. This will make the process smoother and ensure you don’t forget anything in the rush of excitement.

Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate

Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the white chocolate until it’s smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overheat to avoid any grainy textures.

Step 3: Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the melted white chocolate, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Then, fold in the Rice Krispies and mini marshmallows, ensuring they’re all lovingly coated with the chocolate mixture.

Step 4: Spoon Out the Cookies

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You don’t need perfect shapes; the rustic, homemade look is part of their charm!

Step 5: Set and Serve

Allow the cookies to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Once firm, they’re ready to be devoured!

Helpful Tips

• Chill Factor: If your mixture seems too runny, chill it for about 10 minutes before scooping. This will help everything set slightly and make forming cookies easier.
• Uniform Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to get even-sized cookies. This is especially helpful if you’re serving these at a party.

Substitutions/Variations

• Nut-Free: Swap out the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or another nut-free alternative.
• Chocolate Twist: Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white for a different flavor profile.
• Add-Ins: Feel free to throw in some nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and taste.

Q: Can I make these cookies vegan? A: Absolutely! Use vegan white chocolate and a plant-based peanut butter substitute.
