Introduction:
When you need a dessert that’s fast, fun, and practically impossible to mess up, these
Easy No-Bake Avalanche Cookies deliver every time. They’re called “avalanche” cookies because they look like
little snowy mounds—white, fluffy, and loaded with delicious mix-ins—like a sweet snack “pile” you can’t stop picking at.
Each bite has the perfect combination of textures: creamy peanut butter, smooth melted white chocolate, crisp cereal crunch,
and soft, chewy mini marshmallows.
The best part is that there’s no baking. No waiting for the oven, no worrying about overbaking, no standing
at the stove for long. You simply melt the base, stir everything together, scoop onto a tray, and let them set. This makes
avalanche cookies perfect for busy weeknights, holiday cookie trays, school events, bake sales, and last-minute guests.
These cookies are also incredibly customizable. You can swap cereals, add nuts, drizzle with chocolate, or use different
chips depending on what you have. Think of them as a “pantry win” recipe—simple ingredients turning into something that tastes
like a bakery treat.
