No-Bake Christmas Cookies
With just 4 simple ingredients, these no-bake Christmas cookies will become a family favorite! Plus, they’re budget-friendly! They’re seriously one of the easiest no-bake holiday desserts you can make. (For a baked version, try these Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies!)
Ingredients
- White Chocolate Chips – You can always use other flavors of chocolate chips as well!
- Peanut Butter – I like to use creamy peanut butter.
- Rice Krispies
- Marshmallows
How to Make Christmas Crunch Cookies
- Melt the chocolate chips- In a double boiler, melt chips. Remove from heat.
- Add the peanut butter – Add in peanut butter and stir until smooth
- Add the cereal and marshmallows – Mix in rice krispies and marshmallows and stir until combined
- Add to the baking sheet- Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper.
- Chill – Chill in the fridge until firm.
- Store – Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
These no-bake treats couldn’t be easier! White chocolate chips and peanut butter are melted together before being added to marshmallows and rice krispies.
Tips + Variations:
- If you don’t have a double broiler – just make one with what you have on hand! Using a sauce pan, add a few inches of water and simmer. Add a metal bowl or glass bowl that will fit snuggly on top of the sauce pan. Be careful to not burn yourself when you remove the bowl after you melt the ingredients. The bowl will be very hot and the steam will come out from under the bowl!
- Use milk chocolate chips in place of white chocolate chips
- Add in other ingredients to the mix – nuts, cereals, etc…
