Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Mix with Cereal and Marshmallows: Add the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows to the melted mixture. Gently fold everything together until the cereal and marshmallows are evenly coated.
  3. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, shaping them into cookie-like mounds.
  4. Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until firm.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest mix and best coating.
  • Ensure white chocolate chips are melted gently to avoid burning or seizing.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • These cookies can be customized by adding nuts, dried fruit, or substituting the cereal with your favorite variety.
  • If marshmallows are too sticky, lightly flour your hands when shaping the cookies.
