Avalanche Bars Are Easy No Bake Bars!
Avalanche Bars are one of my favorite and most popular treats here on my website. I made them back in 2010, not too long after I started this website, and they quickly became one of the most loved recipes on Cookies and Cups! I even made an Avalanche Cookie a few years back that was equally as loved. I have updated the pictures so they are a little more pretty, but equally as delicious!
White Chocolate and Peanut Butter Are a Delicious Combination!
Avalanche Bars are this deliciously addictive treat was introduced to me at a place called The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Ever been there? They have shelves and shelves of delicious looking candy apples and homemade fudge that I would always be THIS close to buying…but being a bit of a cheapskate I always went for one of the least expensive thing there…the Avalanche Bar.
At like, $3.50 it was still overpriced, but oh so worth it. A strange but wonderful combination of white chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallow it is like rice krispie treat on steroids!
Clearly I knew I needed to learn to make these at home… and it turns out they are easy peasy!
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!

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!!!
