These Crispy No-Bake Avalanche Cookies combine the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the light crunch of Rice Krispies for a quick, easy, and nostalgic treat that requires no baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate chips (preferably Ghirardelli or high-quality brand)
  • 4 tbsp (57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey (or maple syrup as a substitute)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 4 cups (100 g) Rice Krispies cereal (original or gluten-free)
  • 1 cup (50 g) mini marshmallows (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and gather your ingredients.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and white chocolate chips. Stir frequently until smooth and fully melted, about 4-5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  3. Remove the pan from heat and stir in honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until glossy and combined.
  4. Immediately add Rice Krispies cereal and optional mini marshmallows. Fold gently with a spatula to coat without crushing the cereal.
  5. Using a spoon, drop heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping slightly but keeping a rustic look. Yield about 12-14 cookies.
  6. Let cookies cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to fully set.
  7. Once set, gently lift cookies from parchment paper and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Melt white chocolate and butter slowly over low heat to avoid scorching. Fold Rice Krispies gently to keep them crisp. Drop cookies onto tray immediately after mixing to ensure they stick together. Chill cookies well for best texture. For vegan version, use dairy-free white chocolate and vegan butter. Variations include adding dried cranberries, pistachios, cinnamon, or peanut butter. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
