I have a new favorite treat to share with you guys today! They're called no-bake Avalanche Cookies. Not sure that they're technically a cookie but that's ok because they are so gooood!
If I had to describe them they are kind of like a peanut butter version of a Nestle Crunch Bar and trust me that's not a good thing because you kind of want to eat the whole batch when you make them.
I'm not kidding. I ate half the batch while I was taking pictures and was sick the whole rest of the night. It was totally worth it though.
I kind of knew that I was going to love this recipe when I saw it over at Cookies and Cups! She made hers with mini-marshmallows and she also has some killer step by step photos if you want to head over there and take a peek at her post.
Did I mention how easy these were to make. I put 10 minutes on the recipe but seriously they were done in no time. The hardest part for me was to get them all lined up and pretty on the Silpat to take pictures. I kind of obsess over things like food in straight lines and silly stuff like that.
If you have a peanut tree nut allergic child read under the recipe for my recipe suggestions. Our daughter has a peanut allergy so we have to substitute our ingredients when she's going to be eating with us so I know how it is!
No-Bake Avalanche Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup Honey Nut Cheerios
- 1 lb white chocolate
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat and set aside.
- Add your Honey Nut Cheerios and Rice Krispies to a large bowl and set aside.
- Break up your white chocolate into smaller chunks and place in a microwave bowl. Heat in 30 second increments making sure to remove and stir in-between.
- When your chocolate is all melted add your peanut butter and Biscoff and stir well. It should melt and mix well. If it's a bit thick you can put it in the microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
- Pour your chocolate mixture over your cereal and stir well.
- Scoop the mixture using a tablespoon and drop onto your lined baking sheet.
- Put in the fridge until the chocolate is cold and set.
- -- I think these are better if kept in the fridge. When it gets warm the chocolate and peanut butter gets a bit sticky.

Allergy Friendly Recipe Suggestion for Peanut Allergy Children
These would be perfect to take to a kids holiday party... unless you can't take peanut butter into the classroom or have a peanut allergic child like we do. If you find yourself in that situation then pick up some Wowbutter (it's soy butter that tastes exactly like peanut butter) and then even the most sensitive peanut allergic kids can enjoy these treats.
I'm not a big peanut butter fan, but my husband would love these!

The peanut butter, white chocolate combo is heaven-sent! These look phenomenal and I love that they are no-bake! I've pinned and can't wait to make them!

Chunky, chocolatey and peanut-y. The best kind of cookies.
Thank you!

Love, the no-bake recipes for my kids to make. I can't wait to have them make these.
This is totally a kid friendly recipe. Hope you love them!
Those would be deadly in this house and gone in a flash!!
The best kind of treat disappears super quick! Hope your family loves them!
What is Bischoff?
It's a creamy European cookie spread... Sometimes is used as a substitute for nut butters.
Can I add more peanut butter if I can't get any Bischoff?
Definitely! They would be just as good with all peanut butter!
I am a huge peanut butter fan so I know I would LOVE these!! They sound so easy too!!
Yes. These are perfect for peanut butter lovers!
May I ask? What is biscoff?
It's a creamy European cookie spread... Sometimes is used as a substitute for nut butters.
These look great and so simple! I have to contribute to a bake sale this week, maybe these will be on the list!
No-bake cookies at a bake sale... Sounds like a great idea!

Any no-bake recipe always gets my attention. I am so bad at baking, so, this recipe is perfect for me. I also like the use of almonds in these cookies
Ooh! Almonds sounds like a pretty good addition. Let me know how you like them!
these look so heavenly! I cannot wait to try them.
They are definitely melt in your mouth good! Hope you love them!
Oh yes please! I have a white chocolate phase at the moment, just love it! Your cookies would fit right in there!
Yes... White chocolate is a good thing to be hooked on. Hope you love the cookies!
Wow these look great! And I love how easy they are! I've pinned them to make later.
Yay! Thanks for pinning! 🙂

These look easy and delicious! Love your pictures!
Easy treats are the best! Thanks!! 🙂
I think a peanut butter version of a nestle crunch bar sounds so good. I am watching my weight a little bit so i have to search you website for a lower calorie recipe, but it looks so great. Thanks 😉
It is good... but it's definitely not low cal! Good luck!
Where do you find Biscoff?
Great question! You can generally find it in the aisles with all the spreads, like peanut butter.
I made these today and all I can say is, there went the diet!! These were absolutely delicious and I was told that I can only make these on special occasions because they are almost gone, in just one day.
(I doubled the recipe so we had lots).
Yes. They are definitely just for special occasions! Sooo good!
I found Specaloos (same as Biscoff) at Trader Joe's. The words "Cookie Butter" are much larger than Specaloos. It comes in smooth and crunchy. I can't wait to make it now!
Yay! So glad you found it! Hope you love the cookies!
These just look amazing!!
Thanks Missy!
Wow!!! These sound absolutely amazing and sooooo easy!!! Thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
No-bake AND Biscoff included?! Wow! These sound great & i'm dying to make them!
Ha ha! Well good luck! I hope you love them!
These look delicious!
Thanks Amanda!
What a tasty recipe.
Thanks!
These look delicious. I am going to have to make these one day.
You won't regret it. Thanks for stopping by today!
if peanut allergic, try almond or cashew butter...
I'm new to Biscoff. What is it and where do you get it? Thanks!
Hey Lynn! Great question, it can actually be fine near the Peanut Butter and other spreads in MOST stores! Good luck!
Would these be considered gluten free?
Hi Jamie, no... these would not be considered Gluten Free. The Biscoff has Wheat as an ingredient and the Cheerios are processed on the same equipment as other products that have gluten. If you didn't use the Biscoff and maybe another cereal option then you could make it Gluten Free! Hope that helps 🙂
Gonna make these for sure...however, still not sure about the Biscoff...what and/or category, so I'm just omitting it.
Check the. "Time" section in your recipe... Bit confusing there.
Got to go make them now! Thanks!
Do you think you could substitute the rice krispy cereal with quick-cooking oats, like what is used in a standard no-bake cookie? And if so, can I call it breakfast?! Ha!
LOL, I won't judge if you do 🙂
Love these cookies. Just made some and used an ice cream scoop and put them in cup cake liners. Easy to store in the fridge. Thanks
i cant really have this cause of the white chocolate and possibly the Biscoff due to diabetes but it looks really good
I used rice krispies, honey nut Cheerios, mini marshmallows and salted peanuts in my recipe.
It was delish
With adding those additional ingredients how much peanut butter did you use?
Doesn’t Biscoff make many different butters, such as nuts? Am I correct in assuming you mean “cookie butter”? If not, which do you mean?
Yes, it's cookie butter!
Only 1 cup of each cereal?
Correct! Enjoy 🙂
Don’t like white chocolate.....suggestions on what to substitute white chocolate with?
Hi James, I think you could easily substitute regular semi-sweet or milk chocolate in place of the white chocolate!
Alternative suggestion for honeynut cheerios?
You can substitute for store brand version if desired.
