Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Form Cookies: Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheet. Each drop will form a cookie shape.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
