These No Bake Avalanche Cookies are SO good…they’re based on one of my most popular recipes, Avalanche Bars! They are a delicious crispy and creamy no bake cookie recipe!
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!

so im thinking about making these for my wedding and adding peppermint to them. Im going to try them with peanut butter and mint and biscoff spread and mint.
I’m not a cook. and I’m no baker either. and it’s starting to become really annoying!! and now my man loves everything, sweet, creamy and sticky! and these look soooo incedribly delicious! can’t wait to try these and to tell him all proud “yep. I learned this stuff. you’re welcome.”
We add Spanish peanuts and my granny called them dirt clods.
These were divine…heavenly! Sure to be a hit at any party this fall.
I made these for work and they never made it there. My family didn’t even let me get them all on the parchment paper before they started trying to eat them. I made sure to double the batch next time. They were super easy and very yummy. Thanks so much for the recipe.
I’ve got an overwhelming amount of cornflakes (kept forgetting I had some for a cheesy potato crunchy topping so I bought more :/). Think those would work instead of Rice Krispies?? Thanks!!
I bet they would!!
can add shredded coconut, chopped cherries for color, wow
Could you add cranberries & pecans?
Sure!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I can’t wait to try it! I’m amused by all the people commenting that they (or their Mom) make(s) this — but with different ingredients. When half (or more) of the ingredients are different, it’s not the same thing.
I thought the same thing, but didn’t want to comment! Haha “I used to make apple pie, but I used bananas and called it banana bread!” Say whaaaat? ;c)
i make something similar called haystacks. Use butterscotch chips, marshmallows, peanut butter and chow mein noodles and any nuts you want to use. Love them! Can’t wait to try these!
