Base Ingredients
- 16-ounce white chocolate bark
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Mix-ins
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided
- Prepare Cookie Sheet: Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set it aside. This will prevent the cookies from sticking once they are dropped onto the sheet.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate bark according to the package directions, usually by using a double boiler or microwave in short increments, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Combine Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a large bowl, mix the melted white chocolate and creamy peanut butter thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal, miniature marshmallows, and half of the miniature chocolate chips into the white chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Form Cookies: Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheet. Each drop will form a cookie shape.
- Add Topping: Place the remaining half of the miniature chocolate chips on top of each cookie to add extra chocolate flavor and a decorative touch.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cookies until they are set and firm, which usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on your refrigerator.
- Enjoy: Once set, serve and enjoy these no-bake cookies. Remember to leave a rating and comment to share your feedback!
Notes
- For easier handling, use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop uniform cookie sizes.
- Ensure the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
- Can be customized by adding nuts or substituting peanut butter with almond butter for a different flavor.
- Allow cookies to come to room temperature before serving if you prefer a softer texture.
