Instructions

Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips.

2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth (about 1½ minutes total).

Step 2: Mix in Peanut Butter

1. Stir the peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until fully combined.

Step 3: Add Crispy Rice Cereal

1. Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.

Step 4: Fold in Marshmallows

1. Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 2-3 minutes) so the marshmallows don’t melt completely.

2. Add the mini marshmallows (and mini chocolate chips, if using) and fold gently to distribute.

Step 5: Form the Cookies

1. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

2. Press lightly to shape (they will hold together as they chill).

Step 6: Chill Until Firm

1. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 7: Serve & Store

1. Enjoy chilled!

2. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
