Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Binding/Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by laying out a parchment-lined baking sheet to catch the soon-to-be delectable morsels.
- Create a silky base by gently melting white chocolate in short microwave bursts, stirring carefully to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency.
- Transform the melted chocolate into a luscious mixture by incorporating peanut butter and a splash of vanilla extract, ensuring thorough blending of flavors.
- Introduce Rice Krispies and mini marshmallows to the creamy mixture, folding delicately to coat each morsel evenly with the white chocolate sauce.
- Craft individual clusters by dolloping generous spoonfuls onto the prepared parchment sheet, creating rustic, free-form shapes.
- Allow the cookies to solidify by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator, giving the treats time to set and develop a satisfying texture (approximately 30 minutes).
- Once chilled and firm, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version perfect for school lunches and kids with allergies.
- Keep chocolate melting temperature low and gentle to prevent seizing, stirring constantly for smooth, glossy texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixture consistency and easier blending of white chocolate and peanut butter.
- Customize by adding crushed pretzels or sprinkles for extra crunch and visual appeal, making these cookies more exciting and personalized.
