Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups rice krispies
- 2 cups marshmallows
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips by placing a bowl over simmering water, stirring occasionally until fully melted. Remove the bowl from heat carefully.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir the peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Fold in the rice krispies and marshmallows, mixing until everything is well coated and combined.
- Form Cookies: Drop the mixture by tablespoons onto waxed paper to form individual cookies.
- Chill to Set: Place the cookies in the fridge and chill until firm, which typically takes about 30 minutes.
- Store Properly: Store the set cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
Notes
- If you don’t have a double boiler, create one by simmering water in a saucepan and placing a metal or glass bowl on top, ensuring it fits snugly without touching the water. Be cautious when removing the bowl as it will be hot and steam may escape.
- Use waxed paper to prevent the cookies from sticking during chilling and storage.
- Peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter for a variation, keeping in mind flavor and texture changes.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or festive sprinkles before chilling.
