Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound white chocolate
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- ½ cup dry roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set it aside to ensure the cookies won’t stick after setting.
- Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate until smooth. Remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly to avoid melting the peanut butter when mixed.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate thoroughly. Then fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, mini marshmallows, and dry roasted peanuts until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined.
- Form Cookies: Drop the mixture by 2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping each portion into a cookie shape by letting it settle naturally.
- Cool Completely: Let the cookies cool at room temperature until firm or speed up the process by refrigerating them; ensure they are completely set before serving.
Notes
- Cool the cookies faster by popping them in the fridge.
- If you prefer using a microwave instead of a double boiler, microwave the chocolate on half power in 30-second increments, stirring between sessions until melted.
- When storing, place wax paper between layers of cookies to prevent sticking.
- To make bars instead of cookies, line a 9×9-inch baking dish with wax or parchment paper with overhanging edges, pour the mixture in, cool completely, then remove paper before cutting into bars or squares.
- White chocolate baking bars, chips, or melting chocolate can be used interchangeably; almond bark is also a good alternative.
- For easy measuring of peanut butter, line your measuring cup with plastic wrap before adding peanut butter, then plop it into the mixture to minimize mess.
