Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) white almond bark, chopped
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) crunchy peanut butter
- 1 cup (150 grams) peanuts, roasted and salted
Crispy Ingredients:
- 3 cups (75 grams) crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups (50 grams) mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Carefully chop the almond bark into uniform pieces to ensure smooth, even melting in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Once fully melted, incorporate the crunchy peanut butter, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes glossy and completely integrated.
- Allow the melted mixture to cool for approximately 2-3 minutes, preventing the marshmallows from completely dissolving when added.
- Gently fold in the peanuts, mini marshmallows, and crispy rice cereal, ensuring each ingredient is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto wax paper, creating uniform cookie shapes with consistent size.
- Let the cookies rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, allowing them to solidify and develop a firm, crisp texture before serving.
Notes
- Use low, gentle heat to prevent almond bark from burning or seizing, which can ruin the smooth texture of your cookies.
- Swap crunchy for smooth peanut butter or try alternative nut butters like cashew or sunflower seed butter for different flavor profiles.
- Allow mixture to cool just enough so marshmallows don’t completely melt, maintaining their distinct texture and preventing a uniform blend.
- Try mix-ins like shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or chopped chocolate to create unique variations of these no-bake treats.
