Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound white chocolate (baking bars, chips, or almond bark)
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- ½ cup dry roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the snowdrops once they are set.
- Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the peanut butter or marshmallows when combined.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted chocolate. Then fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, mini marshmallows, and dry roasted peanuts until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Form Cookies: Drop the mixture by 2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for slight spreading.
- Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature, or for faster setting, place the baking sheet in the fridge until firm.
- Serve and Store: Once fully set, serve immediately or store using wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Cool the cookies faster by popping them in the fridge.
- For melting chocolate, you can use a microwave on half-power in 30-second increments, stirring between each session.
- When storing, use wax paper between layers to keep the cookies from sticking.
- To make bars or squares instead of cookies, press the mixture into a wax-lined 9×9-inch baking dish, cool completely, then remove the paper before cutting.
- White chocolate baking bars, white chocolate chips, white melting chocolate, or almond bark can be used interchangeably.
- For easy peanut butter measurement, line your measuring cup with plastic wrap before scooping peanut butter to avoid mess.
