Avalanche Bark
Description
This confection starts with carefully melted white chocolate and peanut butter blended into a glossy base. Rice Krispies add crispness while miniature marshmallows contribute chewy pockets, and miniature chocolate chips provide small bursts of semi-sweet chocolate contrast. The mixture cools to room temperature first to help maintain texture, then is pressed into a pan and refrigerated until solid.
The result is a sweet, crunchy, chewy bark with combined creamy notes from the chocolate and peanut butter. Cutting into squares makes it easy to serve and share. It is stored chilled to maintain its firm consistency and can be kept refrigerated for up to a week.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate finely chopped
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1½ cups Rice Krispies
- 1½ cups miniature marshmallows
- ½ cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper; set aside. Place the miniature chocolate chips on a plate and place in the freezer until ready to use.
- Combine the white chocolate and peanut butter in a mixing bowl and microwave on 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted.
- Remove from microwave and stir in Rice Krispies. Let the mixture sit and cool until it reaches room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 10 to 20 minutes.
- Gently stir in the miniature marshmallows, then the miniature chocolate chips.
- Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
