Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or almond bark, melted
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and white chocolate chips or almond bark. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely smooth and melted.
- Stir the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows into the melted mixture until everything is evenly coated.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can drop them as small mounds or press them slightly into rough cookie shapes.
- If using, lightly dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar immediately after dropping them.
- Allow the cookies to set completely at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes until firm.
- Serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the white chocolate with milk chocolate chips.
- If you want a firmer cookie, use white almond bark instead of white chocolate chips.
- These are excellent for potlucks and holiday cookie trays.
