Today we’re talking all out sweet stuff. Sweet, EASY stuff.
Like so deliciously sweet that you cantstopwontstop, but your teeth are starting to hurt and your belly has been aching for the past 5 bites, but don’t you even think of quitting. Because I DON’T QUIT.
Just one more bite. Wait, just another.
Ok, I can’t leave 1/4 of a cookie, obviously.
Great, now there is only one cookie left. So it’s fairly annoying to leave ONE COOKIE. Can’t be annoying.
Guess I’ll just eat that and then die from sugar. Because THESE NO BAKE COOKIES!
I’ve never been a No Bake Cookie Recipe person. I mean does it qualify as a cookie if you don’t bake it? Isn’t it a candy? I mean, I’m just thinking out loud here…
Regardless of what they are called, these No Bake Avalanche Cookies (candies) are 100% one of my favorite things. They are so easy to make, are sweet and crispy, and the perfect addition to any cookie tray!
4 Ingredient No Bake Avalanche Cookies
Yep, that’s right, only 4 ingredients in this no bake cookie recipe!
Pour some Rice Krispies and Mini Marshmallows in a bowl.
Then melt some white chocolate over a double boiler. You can use most white chocolate here, but I do find that some melt better than others. I have never had luck melting Hershey’s White Chocolate Chips, and only partial luck with Nestle. I do like Ghirardelli or Guittard…or you can even use white candy melts if you prefer.
Once the chocolate starts to melt, add in the peanut butter and mix it until it’s all melted and smooth.
Pour that on top of the krispies…
Then stir to coat…
And plop them down on a lined baking sheet.
Stick them in the fridge to set up…
Seriously you guys are going to LOVE these.
My original Avalanche Bar recipe was based on the treat they sell at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory…and I also put in little mini chocolate chips. You can add those here at the very end (so they don’t melt) or just sprinkle them on top while they are still wet.
These No Bake Avalanche Cookies are so addictive and totally easy. It’s a no bake cookie recipe you will come back to time and time again!

Yum! I used rice chex cereal as that is what I had on hand and it still worked and turned out well! I left some pieces large and crushed some up as well. I tried a batch with vanilla almond bark/melting chocolate instead or white chocolate and though the flavor is slightly different, also yummy. I agree with other comments that butterscotch is a nice flavor addition, I kept the other ingredients and added butterscotch chips (not melted).
Love the idea of butterscotch!!
Made them with butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate and did use the mini choc chips. My husband and I loved them!
