Ingredients
- 12 oz white chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups graham crackers, roughly crushed (about 10 sheets)
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Optional: 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- Optional: 1/4 cup M&M’s or mini candies
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Measure out all ingredients before starting.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until creamy and smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Alternatively, melt gently over a double boiler.
- Add peanut butter to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until fully combined and glossy. If too thick, microwave for another 10 seconds.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together crushed graham crackers, Rice Krispies cereal, and mini marshmallows.
- Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir gently with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. If mixture sticks, lightly spray your scoop with nonstick spray or rub a little butter on it.
- Allow cookies to set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if in a hurry. Cookies should be firm but still a little soft to the touch.
- Optionally, sprinkle extra crushed graham crackers or mini marshmallows on top before the cookies set.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month.
Notes
For gluten-free, use GF graham crackers and puffed rice cereal. For nut-free, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter. Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid burning. If mixture is too sticky, add more cereal; if too dry, add a bit more melted chocolate or peanut butter. Cookies taste even better the next day as flavors meld.
