Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 bag (12 oz) white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- mini chocolate chips, mini m&m's, or sprinkles (garnish for the top)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe large bowl or glass measuring cup, add the white chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. *I use a large 6-cup or 8-cup pyrex glass measuring cup.1 bag (12 oz) white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- Immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal and mini marshmallows into the melted white chocolate mixture, and stir until combined.2 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Drop heaping spoonfuls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle some mini chocolate chips (m&m's or sprinkles, whatever you are using) on top of each cookie. *I use a 2 tablespoon or 3 tablespoon cookie scoop for this.mini chocolate chips, mini m&m's, or sprinkles
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature (about 1 hour). Serve & enjoy!
Notes
- For more even-sized cookies, and just a cleaner look, use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the white chocolate peanut butter mixture onto the parchment paper. You can make the cookies as large or small as you want, so use the correct size for what size of cookies you want. A 2 tablespoon cookie scoop is what I use but you could use a 1 tablespoon or even a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop for larger cookies.
- For the best creamy taste I highly recommend using real white chocolate chips - such as Ghirardelli brand or Guittard brand - rather than the vanilla flavored chips from Nestle brand.
- Try melting some additional peanut butter in the microwave and drizzle it over top the cookies for an added garnish. Or use milk chocolate or more white chocolate for a drizzle on top.
