Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces white chocolate almond bark
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted chocolate until fully combined.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal, miniature marshmallows, and half (1/2 cup) of the miniature chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of miniature chocolate chips over the tops of the cookies immediately.
  8. Allow the cookies to set completely at room temperature, or chill them in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes for faster setting.
  9. Serve or store once firm.

Notes

  • For best results when melting, stir the chocolate mixture well between each 30-second interval to prevent scorching.
  • You can substitute white chocolate almond bark with white chocolate chips, but add 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to help the chips melt smoothly.
  • These cookies are excellent for holiday cookie exchanges or last-minute potluck desserts.
