Easy no bake avalanche cookies are the best simple dessert made with only 5 ingredients! The perfect holiday sweet treat to make for your family.

No bake cookies are one of the best desserts.

During the holidays I’m all about easy sweets like christmas crack, graham cracker toffee, peanut clusters, chocolate peppermint bark, peanut butter balls, and ritz cracker cookies.

Especially around Christmastime I love a good tin full of homemade no-bake cookies.

But instead of the traditional chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies, today I am sharing these avalanche cookies.

Avalanche cookies are made with melted white chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and mini marshmallows mixed with rice krispies.

Top them with adorable mini chocolate chips and you have the perfect irresistible no bake treat!

Ingredients to make these no bake cookies

• rice krispies cereal
• mini marshmallows
• white chocolate chips
• mini semi sweet or dark chocolate chips
• creamy peanut butter

How to make avalanche cookies

Step 1: Mix the rice krispies and mini marshmallows together in a bowl.

Step 2: In a medium saucepan, add the white chocolate chips and peanut butter and melt over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

Be careful on this step as white chocolate will burn quickly.

Take your time and stir constantly to make sure the chocolate melts perfectly without over cooking.

Step 3: Pour the white chocolate melted peanut butter mixture over the rice krispies and mini marshmallows and stir to combine.

A rubber spatula works best for stirring all of the sticky no bake ingredients together.

Step 4: Use a cookie scoop to drop batter onto the lined baking sheet.

You can use either wax paper or parchment paper, you just need a non stick surface for easy cleanup.

Step 5: Sprinkle the tops of the no bake cookies generously with mini chocolate chips.

Be sure to work quickly so that the chocolate chips stick to the tops before the white chocolate hardens.

Step 6: Chill the no bake cookies in the fridge until firm.

How to store these cookies

These avalanche cookies store best in an airtight container in the fridge.

I have also frozen them with great results! Just allow to thaw for a few minutes before serving.

These little no bake cookies are loaded with chocolatey rich flavor and so very simple to make.

You will impress your guests with these for sure! A great simple dessert that can be made any time of year.
