This years cookie box is full of so many goodies! Do you make a cookie box/tin for friends, family, and neighbors? This is one tradition that has been instilled in me since childhood and it’s one I intend to keep for a very long time. I promise homemade cookies and candy will put a smile on just about anyone’s face. HahaįYI: This recipe does make A LOT and they stay good in a air tight container for about 2 weeks! You may want to try to halve it if you don’t want LOTS of treats around, but this is definitely a recipe worth sharing so make some for your neighbors, kids teachers, family, and friends. You do what you want to! I’ve even almost drizzled red and green candy melts on them. I have to resist the urge to put sprinkles on these even though I want to make them more festive, but Eric really, really likes them just how they are made and how he grew up so I refrain. I tend to make them larger accidentally, but think they do better in cookie tins smaller for the perfect quick one bite candy! This recipes makes anywhere from 25-40 dependin on how big the spoonfuls are. Transfer spoonfuls onto parchment paper and let them set until firm this will take at least a few hours, but if you need them to speed up a bit you can place them in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes until they’re set. Slowly stir the marshmallow mix into the chocolate peanut butter mixture until well incorporated.Īnd ta-da! That’s all folks. When I first had one of these I was so surprised by the marshmallow and the rice krispies! I’ve had similar chocolate covered peanut clusters before, but when I took a bite I was like “wait what’s in this!?” So good, yall! Now, in a big ol’ bowl measure 2 cups of dry roasted and salted peanuts, 3 cups mini marshmallows, and 4 cups rice krispies cereal. I have not tried it with all natural peanut butter or an alternative nut butter so I can’t give much info on it. I prefer Jif or Skippy brand here, but use whatever peanut butter you enjoy. When the almond bark has completely melted stir in creamy peanut butter.

The almond bark or white chocolate package will have directions on how to melt the best way via microwave or stove top. Since I’m usually baking other things while this is going on this is really the best way for me, but if you want a quicker option you can melt in the microwave. Haha PS Use slow cooker liners to make these clusters ever easier with almost no clean up! Add 2 lbs of almond bark (or white chocolate) to slow cooker set to low and let it melt stirring occasionally.

You don’t have to use a slow cooker, but I find that it’s the easiest way for me to melt a bunch all at once and I don’t have to constantly hear the microwave beep. I like to use a slow cooker to melt 2 lbs of almond bark.

Anything goes! I’ll update someday maybe, but I kind of like the “in the moment” photos with Pepper measuring and making most of this. The photos I’m about to share with you are not my best, but hey it’s holiday season. I could make 500 different types of cookies and if these aren’t around he would be so bummed out. If a six year old can easily make these on her own (of course with a little supervision while melting the chocolate) then I’m confident anyone can! I love a good cookie, but I really enjoy these candy like clusters for something to contrast in the cookie tin! Eric’s number one request during Christmas are these White Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Clusters. No mixing doughs or worrying about over baking cookies. These are a no bake candy/cookie so this makes it extra kid friendly in the kitchen and an easy addition to your cookie tin. We really love them and cannot imagine Christmas with out a big tin of these to snack on and giveaway! I knew I needed to share them with you this year too! When she told me the ingredients list it sounded like mix of randomness, but it all works so wonderfully together. But, I know I can speak for all of us when I say we wish Nonnie was making them instead of me! They don’t taste exactly the same because I think she puts extra love in hers, but they are still super yum! The mix of salty and sweet is a wonderful addition to the holiday baking list and the textures perfectly balanced too. These are one of her traditional Christmas confections that she has made for Christmas for years! Since moving to Tennessee a couple years ago now, he has asked me to continue the tradition of making them. These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Clusters (aka Nonnie’s Christmas Candy) were brought to my “holiday cookie baking” collection by Eric’s sweet mom. This recipe is no bake and so wonderfully easy and the perfect addition to any Christmas cookie tin or holiday party! White Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow clusters are filled with salty roasted peanuts, marshmallows, rice crispy cereal and covered with peanut butter-y white chocolate.
