Print Recipe

These no-bake avalanche cookies combine creamy white chocolate, soft marshmallows, and crispy rice cereal for a quick and delicious treat. Perfect for lazy Sundays, bad days, or any time you need a little sweetness without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips
  • 3 cups (about 150 grams) mini marshmallows, divided
  • 2 cups (about 60 grams) crispy rice cereal
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth (about 1.5 to 2 minutes total).
  3. Stir in vanilla extract and salt until fully combined.
  4. Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes until warm but not hot.
  5. Fold in 2 cups of mini marshmallows gently, leaving some chunks visible.
  6. Fold in crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
  7. Fold in the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows, folding just 2-3 times to keep them intact.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Optionally, lightly wet your hands and gently shape each scoop into a round cookie.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or 20 minutes in the freezer) until set.
  11. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

White chocolate burns easily; melt in short bursts. Use room temperature marshmallows for best results. On humid days, chill cookies longer. For best texture, let cookies sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes after refrigeration.
