Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Melt the white chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Combine with peanut butter: Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Fold in Rice Krispies: Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the white chocolate and peanut butter mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  4. Cool the mixture: Allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes to prevent melting the marshmallows when added.
  5. Add marshmallows and chocolate chips: Stir in the mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Form the cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them into cookie forms.
  7. Set the cookies: Let the cookies set at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes until firm. For quicker setting, refrigerate the cookies for 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a peanut-free version.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or pretzels to the mixture.
