Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Add-ins
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
- Melt white chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted to avoid burning.
- Add peanut butter: Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows, ensuring everything is evenly coated without crushing the marshmallows.
- Form cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them slightly to form cookies.
- Add topping: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top of each cookie for an extra touch of sweetness and texture.
- Set cookies: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes until they are firm enough to handle.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate the mixture after forming the cookies.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Mini marshmallows add chewiness; you can substitute with regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if preferred.
- These cookies are best consumed within a week when stored properly at room temperature or refrigerated.
- Peanut butter can be substituted with almond or sunflower butter for a different flavor or allergy considerations.
