Ingredients
-
12 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
-
½ cup creamy peanut butter
-
4 cups cornflakes (or Rice Krispies)
-
1½ cups mini marshmallows
Optional add-ins:
-
¼ cup chopped nuts
-
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
-
Sprinkles for topping
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Melt the white chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl or saucepan over low heat, stirring often until smooth.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully combined and creamy.
-
Gently fold in the cereal until evenly coated.
-
Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in the mini marshmallows.
-
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming chunky clusters.
-
Let the cookies sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or until fully set.
-
Enjoy once firm, or store for later.
Notes
-
Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid seizing.
-
Add marshmallows only after the mixture cools slightly so they stay fluffy.
-
Cornflakes give a hearty crunch; Rice Krispies make lighter cookies.
-
For nut-free cookies, swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
