Rocky Mountain Avalanche Bars Recipe
Description
This recipe melts white chocolate and creamy peanut butter together, creating a rich coating for Rice Krispies cereal and mini marshmallows. Once combined, the mixture is pressed into a baking pan and topped with mini chocolate chips, which lightly adhere to the surface.
After setting at room temperature or refrigeration, the bars firm up to a chewy texture with the crispness of cereal pieces contrasting the softness of marshmallows. Peanut butter and white chocolate offer a sweet, creamy base, complemented by chocolate chips for extra flavor.
These bars are suitable for casual snacks, lunchboxes, or parties. Their no-bake preparation saves time and the recipe yields a large 9x13 pan to share. Cutting into squares makes for easy serving sizes.
Storage tips include keeping bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. They freeze well for up to three months and should be thawed at room temperature before serving.
Ingredients
- 4 cups white chocolate chopped (about 24 ounces)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with a parchment paper sling or lightly grease with butter or baking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in a microwave on 50% heat in 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst, until melted.
- Stir the peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until combined. Add the rice krispies and marshmallows. Gently stir to coat.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips while still wet and lightly press them into the bars.
- Let the bars set at room temperature until firm, or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to speed up the process. Remove the bars from the pan with the parchment paper sling, then carefully cut into squares with a large, sharp knife.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- You can freeze the bars for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving.
- Using a parchment paper sling in the pan helps lift bars out easily for cutting.
- Press mini chocolate chips lightly into the top while mixture is still warm to help them stick.
