Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 12 oz. white chocolate chips (340g, 1 bag)
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter (180g)
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal (56g)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (43g)
Optional Topping
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (44g, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. This will be where you drop the cookie mixture to cool and harden.
- Melt the white chocolate and peanut butter: Using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips. Be careful not to overheat to avoid the chocolate separating. Once melted, whisk in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth, then remove it from the heat.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal and mini marshmallows, mixing them together evenly.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the warm peanut butter and white chocolate mixture over the cereal and marshmallow mixture. Gently fold everything together until all pieces are well coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
- Form the cookies: Working quickly before the mix hardens, use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to drop portions of the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie for added texture and flavor.
- Set the cookies: Allow the cookies to set and harden at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for smooth texture and easy mixing.
- Double boiler method helps prevent white chocolate from burning or separating.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate flavor and texture.
- Allow sufficient time for cookies to harden; refrigeration can speed up the setting process if needed.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh.
