These no-bake white chocolate avalanche cookies are quick, easy, and incredibly delicious. With a perfect blend of creamy white chocolate, crunchy rice cereal, and soft marshmallows, they’re a crowd-pleasing treat that comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340g) white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 3 cups (85g) crispy rice cereal
  • 1 ½ cups (about 85g) mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch of fine sea salt
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (optional)
  • ¼ cup (40g) dried cranberries (optional)
  • ¼ cup (20g) coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Place the white chocolate chips and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until mostly melted (about 1 ½ to 2 minutes). Let residual heat finish melting.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy.
  4. Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the rice cereal and mini marshmallows. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
  6. Working quickly, use a cookie scoop or two spoons to drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes) until firm.
  8. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Let the white chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding marshmallows to prevent them from melting. Use fresh marshmallows for best texture. Don’t overheat white chocolate; it can seize. For extra flavor, toast the rice cereal in a 350°F oven for 3-4 minutes before using. Press a few extra mini marshmallows on top before setting for a prettier look. Cookies taste even better the next day.
