Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Combine Peanut Butter: Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Fold in Cereal: Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the white chocolate and peanut butter mixture, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Cool and Add Mix-ins: Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Then stir in the mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form cookie shapes.
- Set Cookies: Let the cookies set at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes until firm. For quicker setting, refrigerate the cookies for about 15 minutes.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a peanut-free version, substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter.
- For extra crunch and texture, add chopped nuts or pretzels to the mixture before forming the cookies.
