White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Clusters
Report
Melted white chocolate and peanut butter coat a mixture of crispy rice cereal, peanuts, and marshmallows for fast and easy cookie clusters. They’re sweet with a touch of saltines, with a melt-in-your mouth quality. They’re dense yet light, crispy, crunchy, chewy, and very addictive. I give them a 1 on work, 10 on reward. I wish all cookie recipes delivered those results.

Ingredients
- one 1-pound package 16 ounces vanilla Caniquik, coarsely chopped (white almond bark or white chocolate chips may be substituted)
- heaping 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter do not use natural or homemade; use conventional Jif, Skippy, or similar
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal or similar gluten-free crispy rice cereal plus 1/4 cup cereal, only if necessary; see directions below*
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment or wax paper; set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine Candiquik, peanut butter, and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt. Stop and stir. As necessary, heat in 15-second bursts until mixture can be stirred smooth. Be very careful not to overheat the mixture because white chocolate is notorious for scorching and seizing up.
- To the melted white chocolate-peanut butter mixture, add 1 cup cereal, peanuts, marshmallows, and stir to coat. Mixture will be runny and you want to keep it loose and not too cluttered with add-ins. But if your mixture is extremely runny and would benefit from extra bulk, add 1/4 cup cereal.* Adding a pinch of extra peanuts or marshmallows also works.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or with a spoon, drop mounds onto prepared baking sheets (I made 24). Allow cookies to firm up for about 2 hours at room temperature, or expedite by placing trays in the refrigerator or freezer is you have the space.
- Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for at least 2 weeks, in the refrigerator for at least 1 month, or in the freezer for at least 6 months. Take care any ingredients used are appropriate for your dietary needs.
