Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Crispy Rice cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 lb white chocolate
Optional Topping
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside to ensure your cookies won’t stick during setting.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows, mixing them evenly. Set the mixture aside while you prepare the chocolate coating.
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate and creamy peanut butter together slowly, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Alternatively, you can melt them carefully in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds to avoid burning.
- Combine Mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal and marshmallow blend. Stir well until every piece is completely coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, drop scoops of the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie for extra flavor and texture.
- Chill to Set: Place the trays in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate coating is firm and set, approximately 30 minutes.
Notes
- Using a double boiler helps melt white chocolate smoothly without burning.
- Microwave melting is a convenient alternative but requires careful monitoring.
- Mini chocolate chips on top add a decorative touch and extra chocolate flavor but are optional.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- These cookies are best enjoyed within 3-4 days.
