How to make No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep

Begin by lining a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then set it aside.

Cookie dough

In a large bowl mix the rice krispie cereal and marshmallows together, then set it aside.

Next, in a medium size saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips and peanut butter, over medium-low heat. Stir constantly and do not raise the heat above medium to help avoid burning.

Once the mixture is completely melted, pour it over the cereal and marshmallows, gently stir until combined and the cereal is well coated.

Shape & chill

After that, use a medium (1.5 TBSP) cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough in two tablespoon size balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet, at least 1 inch apart.

Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips generously on top of all the avalanche cookies and let them set for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!

Variations of this No-Bake Cookie Recipe

There are many ways to customize Avalanche No-Bake Cookies to suit your taste preferences. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Nutty Delight: For those who love nuts, try adding ½ cup of chopped almonds or pecans to the recipe. This will add a nice crunch and a nutty flavor to the cookies. You can also substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different taste.

Fruity Twist: If you want to add some fruitiness to the cookies, try adding ½ cup of dried cranberries or raisins to the recipe. This will add a chewy texture and a sweet taste to the cookies. You can also substitute white chocolate chips with dried apricots or chopped dates.

Nutrition

How will I know these no-bake cookies are done?

You will know these cookies are done when you can pick one up without it feeling sticky. The chocolate and peanut butter will set and become easy to handle.

How long are these avalanche cookies good for?

These cookies last up to 1 week either at room temperature or in the fridge in an airtight container. However, we feel these cookies are best served at room temperature.

Can I store these cookies in the fridge?

No, they can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container, unless you live in a hot environment and your home is also hot inside. In which case you should refrigerate them.

My white chocolate got stiff and didn’t melt well, why is this?

It is possible your white chocolate got stiff instead of melted on the stove because it most likely ‘burned’ or seized. To prevent burning white chocolate, be sure to stir it constantly while heating up and never go above medium heat. You just need enough heat to have it melt, don’t turn the heat to high to get it to melt faster, that won’t work and will result in a scorched, gloppy mess.

Is almond bark acceptable to use in place of white chocolate?

Yes, almond bark can be used as a substitute for white chocolate in Avalanche cookies. However, keep in mind that almond bark has a different flavor and texture than white chocolate, so the end result may be slightly different.

Can I use a different cereal in this recipe?

Of course! Other cereals similar in size, like fruity pebbles (omit the mini chocolate chips), would do great as a substitute.
