These are amazing! I first tasted them at a Christmas party a few years ago. I asked for the recipe and have been making them ever since. I usually prefer CHOCOLATE candy of course, but wow these are yummo! And believe it or not, there are some people who don't care for chocolate...lol....I don't understand that, but I'm ok with it, and I'm happy to add these to my Christmas goodies tray.
Now people ask me for the recipe all the time, so I thought I'd share it today. You can find many variations of this, but I prefer how my friend has made them, chock full of nuts and marshmallows. That sweet and salty combo gets me every time!
I know...... at first 2 1/4 lb. of white melting chocolate seems like alot, but it is correct. I didn't have the extra 1/4 this year, and they turned out fine though. I actually added extra nuts too. I think this is one of those recipes that you can monkey around with to your liking.
The bonus is that this makes a TON. I like to make them a cookie size, but sometimes I drop them into candy liner cups so they look FANCY...lol!
Christmas Candy (AKA Avalanche)
2 1/4 lb. white melting chocolate
2 1/2 cups salted peanuts
3 cups rice krispies
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups mini marshmallows
Melt the white chocolate and peanut butter. Stir well and fold in the rest of the ingredients. Drop onto wax paper until set and store in air tight containers. These freeze well.
