#1,488: Peanut Butter Avalanche Bars

Here is a real simple, no bake updated version on rice krispie treats!  This does have peanut butter in it so if you have a nut allergy or don't like peanut butter you can forget this recipe.  It is pretty rich so one of these little bars was definitely enough for me.  I did really like it though and I would definitely make this again.  

12 oz bag of White Chocolate Chips

¼ cup creamy peanut butter

3 cups Rice Krispies

1½ cups mini marshmallows

¼ cup mini chocolate chips + 2 Tbsp for garnish (I just added 1/2 cup or more to the batter/mixture and didn't add any extra on top). 

Line a 9x9 or 8x8 pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray.  

In microwave-safe bowl pour in white chips and heat on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue in 30 second increments until chips are melted.

Combine the peanut butter with the melted chips and add the rice krispies.

(Mine was not super hot so I didn't have to let mine sit/cool.  It just has to be cool enough so that the chocolate chips don't melt when you add them in).  Let cool approx 15 – 20 minutes stirring every 5 minutes or so to help cool.

Add the marshmallows and the mini chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Pour mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly, pressing lightly with the back of your spoon, but do not compact too much, otherwise they will get hard. Press the remaining chocolate chips into the top for garnish.

When the bars are completely cooled cut into squares and enjoy!
