AND I made a quick little video to show you JUST how easy…
I make these ALL the time, and I am sure you will too! They are an easy, classic treat!

Avalanche Bars are a fabulous upgrade to regular old rice krispie treats. This dessert bar recipe contains chocolate chips, white chocolate, marshmallows, and more! Try these homemade, chocolate-loaded rice krispie treats, and you will never look back!
Ingredients:
- 12 oz bag of White Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips + 2 Tbsp for garnish.
- Lightly grease a 9×9 pan
Instructions:
- In microwave-safe bowl pour in white chips and heat on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue in 30 second increments until chips are melted.
- Combine the peanut butter with the melted chips and add the krispies.
- Let cool approx 15 – 20 minutes stirring every 5 minutes or so to help cool.
- Add the marshmallows and the mini chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly, pressing lightly with the back of your spoon, but do not compact too much, otherwise they will get hard.

I've never tried these before but I am addicted to their caramel apples with chocolate and pecans- so yummy!
oh man these look so yummy! They'd probably make are a great cookie to mail to my college kids.
Oh, man. I am always a sucker for Rice Krispie treats, but these are REALLY something. Wow! Love the lead photo too. 🙂
Oh baby, those look way too good. And I feel you on the whole summer/winter exchange… I'm from FL and I moved to Louisiana and whoa. 10 degree winter nights were NOT what I had in mind… I didn't even want to open the front door.
This is just too good to be true! Looks so yummy yet so easy!! Trying this today for sure!!
That looks heavenly. You have some great ideas here. I will be following you!

une belle gourmandise je t'en félicite
bonne soirée
This is a great idea for our "snowy" fun day today!! Thanks!
Nothing better to cheeerrup a cold day than peanut butter and white chocolate. I have a love hate relationship the the weather. But least you have an excuse to buy cute coats and winter boots!
Very familiar with Rocky mountain chocolate factory and $8 caramel, chocolate, candy coated apples! I've not had an avalanche bar but I will definatley be making these!
These look amazing!!! Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is one of my favorite places, ask my kids what my favorite store is…that's what they will say!! THANKS for sharing this recipe, i'm making it FOR SURE!!!
You're funny:) There is a Rocky Mt. Chocolate Factory in this area too, but I haven't gone there too often other than for buying a dog treat for my pup:) I like See's candy! Your bars look yummy!
OMG those look incredible! I just discovered, by accident actually, the wonderful flavor combo of white chocolate and peanut butter when I tweaked some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I am definitely trying these, they look awesome!
Oh my gosh, those look amazinly delicius and doable! I think I could even take on this task! Thanks for sharing!
I just moved from Houston, Texas to Portland, Oregon and while I like it in OR, I REALLY miss Texas. There's just something about that state 🙂
Thanks..thanks a lot…now I will have that damn song in my head all night!!! lol
those look yummy. I'll have to find something to subsitute for the white chocolate though 🙂
Yes I'll have one please.Lessee, you live in NJ and I live in TN, we could meet in the middle 🙂 I kid, I kid.
Girl! These sound TOO good. I'll definitely try these out. I always raid those candy stores in the airports, but rarely got past trying anything other than the giant caramel apples! I hear you on the cold weather, I go to school in Columbia Missouri, smack dab in the middle of the country and walking across campus in 28 degree weather with 30 mph winds makes it EXTRA hard to go to class. Hang in there!
yum, those look delicious! sooo with you on winter, I'm beyond done! melt snow, MELT!
Yum…An avalanche is just what we need.

They look really yummy! Shame on you for adding in the link for Rocky Mountain Chocolate tho. Now I have to go and buy some caramel apples and have them shipped to my house. We have nothing like that around here!
Hmmm, they sound pretty good. I do though think that I would prefer them with out chocolate.
I'm in FL, also known as the Sunshine State, so I can relate to perpetual summer. 🙂

I’m going to make these with caramel chips. Chopped nuts would be good in these too. I’m going to use dark chocolate chips and pecans or walnuts for the type II diabetic in the family. These sound great.
Mmmm, yum!
I just might have to try these. I love your pictures!
YUM! That looks so good! I sending you warm sunny wishes 🙂
Mmmmmm these look yummy!!!
