Pin This RecipeEasy No-Bake Candy
I had this candy a few years ago at a Christmas party and went home and immediately tried to replicate it. This candy is a real crowd-pleaser. It is creamy and crunchy without being overly rich. I could eat a ton of these little things. This is very easy to put together and it makes a ton. Make a batch and share it with your friends!
How to Make White Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispies
These candies are super easy to make. You actually make them in the microwave! Woohoo! NO candy thermometer required.
Place cereal, peanuts, and marshmallows in a large bowl. In a microwave-safe bowl combine white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave until the chips and peanut butter has melted. Pour the mixture over the cereal. Stir to combine. Drop the candy on some wax paper or parchment paper and let the candy cool and set up.
- Store cooled candy in an air-tight container.
- The candy will keep 1 to 2 weeks.
- Can use white chocolate chips or white chocolate bars.
- I used smooth peanut butter, but crunchy peanut butter will work fine.
- I used Planter’s dry roasted peanuts. Feel free to substitute cocktail peanuts.
- You can make the candy drops as large or as small as you wish.
- For a gluten-free dessert, make sure to use a gluten-free brand of rice krispies.

I came up with this recipe way back in 2009. I’ve noticed in recent years someone on the internet made these and renamed them No-Bake Avalanche Cookies. Whatever you call them, just make them! You won’t be disappointed!

I have always used the vanilla almond bark in these. Definitely in the top ten favorite cookie! However in my house we call them “Cat Yack Cookies.” 🙂
Has anyone tried it with dark chocolate or milk chocolate. I thinkin about a arrangement of all 3 chocolates for gifts?
Can the white chocolate be replaced with white almond bark?
I haven’t tried this with almond bark, but you can definitely give it a whirl.
Can you use chocolate instead of the white?
You can try it.
I add dried cranberries to this. Gives it a nice little tang!!
Love that idea!
I use Christmas Rice Krispies for colour😁
Fun!!!
Cannot figure out what went wrong…my white chocolate/peanut butter never really melted. I ended up mixing it all together and pressing it into a 9×13 pan to cut into squares. Hopefully, they will still taste good!
Wondering if these would be good with cocoa pebbles, they are gluten-free and I have to have gluten-free
You can also use rice Chex if you need to be gluten free
Love easy recipes like this that turn out fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing!
