Avalanche Bars

I love pinterest.  I do.  Where else would I be able to find recipes from a million different websites and be able to narrow them down by how delicious they look?!  Here's another find for Fun Friday.  I stole that idea from my friend Abbie who never blogs anymore so I won't even link to her blog even though it would probably take as long as it has taken me to write this run on sentence.  Anyway, she makes a special treat every Friday for her kiddos - I love that!  It makes it so I can feed them healthy every other day and they can't complain because, hey, Fun Friday!  Nice, right?

So, here's today's treat.  Original recipe, commentary, and photos from:  http://cookiesandcups.com/avalanche-anyone/

Avalanche Bars

12 oz bag of White Chocolate Chips

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3 cups Rice Krispies, or “Puffed Rice” if you’re buying generic

1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips + 2 Tbsp for garnish.

Lightly grease a 9×9 pan (or 8×8 if you prefer thicker bars)

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

2.  Combine the peanut butter with the melted chips

3.  Add the krispies.

4.  Let cool approx 15 – 20 minutes stirring every 5 minutes or so to help cool.

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

6.  Dump 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.

7.  Press the remaining chocolate chips into the top for garnish.

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

These will be the only avalanche that I will ever love
