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!

These cookies are dreamy. I’m seriously in love with them. They are speaking my language.
Thanks Jane Trowbridge, I really wanted to skip using the marshmallows.
I LOVE Avalanche from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and can’t wait to try this! I worked at a RMCF in CA back in 2000-01 when my Marine husband deployed. This was my favorite thing to eat, along with their frozen bananas and Apple Pie Caramel Apples. 🙂
Can you you use wow butter, its like peanut butter…..I have a child wit a peanut allergy…..thanks!
I would love to make these for my granddaughter, but she’s allergic to nuts. What could be used instead of peanut butter?
You could try sunbutter..it’s made from sunflower seeds!
How long does it take for them to set in the fridge?
If you use white chocolate about 20-30 minutes…if you use ALmond bark or melting wafers it will set faster
Oh YUM! I’m going to try this recipe, then try Cocoa Crispies in the next batch!
I have one almost like it one-half cup brown sugar one half cup peanut butter melt together with one fourth cup milk mix together pour over 2 1/2 cup rice crispy. Good.
I have been making these cookies for almost 40 years. I call them white star cookies,especially at Xmas. The only difference is I also use 1 cup peanuts, I have found over the years that if you melt slowly in microwave works great ????
Just made these… All I can say is; oh my god. Sated my peanut butter obsession. Yummm. A little too rich for me, but i still ate a billion of them 😀
