What are Avalanche Cookies?
Avalanche Cookies is a no bake cookie that is made with crispy cereal, peanut butter, white chocolate and marshmallows. For added textures we have even added in pecans and walnuts.
You can even sprinkle candy on top for the perfect Christmas Cookies.
Ingredients
- Rice Krispie Cereal – Use any type of crispy rice cereal that you prefer.
- White Chocolate Bark – Substitute with white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- Creamy Peanut Butter – We recommend using Skippy or Jif Peanut Butter. Natural Peanut Butter does not work as well.
- Mini Marshmallows – The mini works best instead of the large marshmallows
- Mini Chocolate Chips (divided) – You can make with semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.

How to Make Avalanche Cookies
- Step 1 – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2 – Place the chocolate bark and peanut butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is melted and combined.
Step 3 – Stir in the cereal and mini marshmallows.
Step 4 – Stir in half of the mini chocolate chips.
Step 5 – Drop the mixture onto the baking sheet with a tablespoon and top the cookies with the remaining chocolate chips. Let cookies set and then they are ready to serve.
Expert Tips
- Melting Almond Bark – Melt the almond bark and peanut butter in the microwave. Make sure to watch closely so the almond bark does not burn.
- Combining Ingredients – When stirring in the cereal and mini marshmallows make sure to completely cover with the melted peanut butter mixture. This helps to allow the ingredients to stick together.
- Cookie Scoop – We like using a cookie scoop to help with the size of the cookies.
