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!

Ooh, I’m thinking about adding in a drizzle of caramel to the top… YUM!
How many does this make? Also, how long do they keep? Can they be frozen?
It makes between 16 and 20 depending on how you cut the bars. Yes you can freeze them!
I have made these twice this week. They’re fantastic! I’m taking these to a Church dinner tonight.

Unbelievable easy and yummy. Thanks for posting!
Love these! Thanks for the recipe!
The first time I made these they were very crumbly. Second time not as much. The first time I followed the recipe exactly. I used Ghirardelli white chocolate chips. The second time I just used generic white chips and added a little extra Rice Krispies. Any thoughts or similar experiences. I think I liked the taste of the generic chips better than the real chocolate. Weird, huh?
Saw your bars on Pinterest and knew I had to make them. so easy and so delicious. I have an allergy to peanuts so I subbed almond butter. Thanks for a wonderful Treat! My coworkers are asking for more. Thanks again
