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.
No-Cook Dessert for Christmas

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!

These were SO good it’s dangerous!
These things were SO good! Dangerous!
I made them with Holiday Rice Krispies this year! Made them look so festive!
SO fun!! I'll have to try that!
Could I use milk chocolate chips and nutella? Will the nutella have the same consistency as the peanut butter??
You could certainly give it a whirl!
Do you need to melt the marshmallows? Or will they melt when you put the melted chocolate in?
The marshmallows don’t melt in this recipe
This stuff is insanely good. I read thru the comments and the Captain Crunch caught my eye. Made it last night. Thank you for the recipe Stephanie!
Do you melt the peanut butter and chocolate together?
Also, do you just pour the chocolate on OR MIX IT ALL TOGETHER?
I just finished making em for a party tomorrow and maybe some for Christmas Eve, if there are any left. I'm hoping they go well with the Triple Chocolate Peanut Cashew clusters. 🙂
Hi! When you leave these to harden for two hours, do you leave them out on the counter or do you put them in the fridge?
You can do either. If it is really hot outside, I might suggest placing them in the refrigerator.
Can you give me an idea of about how many this recipe makes? As above, want to make them for cookie exchange and will need 5 dozen. Double the recipe?
It will totally depend on how you scoop the mixture – it makes about 9 cups of candy. I like to drop it in smaller spoonfuls so they are bite sized. I think you could get 60 small krispies out of this. If you want bigger krispies, you might need to double it.
So easy! Everyone loved them, definitely a keeper :p
Do you think you could use Rice Chex for these too, since they are gluten free? And possibly using Sunbutter to make them peanut free as well. So many different ways to make these, I'll just have to give them all a try!!
I too am curious about the Sun Butter. I'm going to try that so may son can enjoy these! I'll keep you posted!
I've never cooked with Sun Butter
For extra crunch, add 2 cups of thin pretzel sticks snapped in half. It not only adds crunch, but the salt on the pretzels nicely counteracts the sweetness. I also leave out the marshmallows as it doesn't affect the taste and it cuts down considerably on the sugar
How long will these last? Do they need refrigerated? I want to make this for a cookie exchange on the 20th, Will they still be good on Christmas? Thanks!
I don't refeigerate them. They will be fine by Christmas if you have the cookie party on the 20th. They keep at least a week or so. Never had any make it past a week – we eat them too fast.
Thanks for replying so quickly!
Can you suggest a replacement for the peanut butter ? (Severe peanut allergy) maybe cashew butter ? Thank you !
Biscoff spread works great in this. Cashew butter or almonds sounds good too
Thank you !
How much does this make? Trying to decide if it's enough for 6 dozen or if I should double the recipe. Thx!
It just depends on how big you make the bites. I think you would need to double this recipe to accommodate that many people.
Ok, thanks! 🙂
I make the exact same thing every year for Christmas but they are called Inhalers. Can you guess why??? lol 🙂
I sure can! LOL!
I can't wait to try these with gluten free rice krispies. I think I'm going to leave out the marshmallows. My mom used to make something like this but with white chocolate, peanut butter captain crunch, and peanuts. They are amazingly delicious!
