Ingredients

  • 16 ounces white almond bark also known as white candy coating or candy melts
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups rice krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips divided use

Instructions

  • Place 1/2 cup of the miniature chocolate chips in the freezer.
  • Break the almond bark into pieces and place in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 45 second increments until melted.
  • Remove the almond bark from the microwave and stir in the peanut butter until completely combined.
  • Add the rice krispies and stir to coat. Let the mixture cool until lukewarm.
  • Add the marshmallows and stir to coat. Add the frozen chocolate chips and stir until combined.
  • Place 2 tablespoon sized drops of the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper. Repeat with remaining mixture. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips, you'll need to work quickly before the cookies harden!
  • Cool completely until firm then serve. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  1. Almond bark is a candy product that resembles white chocolate. You can find it in slabs in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. If you can’t find almond bark, use white candy melts instead. I like the Ghirardelli brand of candy melts.
  2. Use a creamy peanut butter such as Skippy or Jif. Natural peanut butter does not work well in this recipe.
