Avalanche Bars

January 28, 2010

Now, this post is all about cold and snow, so why not have an Avalanche bar?

This deliciously addictive treat was introduced to me at a place called The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.  Ever been there?
  They have shelves and shelves of delicious looking candy apples and homemade fudge that I would always be THIS close to buying…but being a bit of a cheapskate I always went for one of the least expensive thing there…the Avalanche bar. At like, $3.50 it was still overpriced, but oh so worth it.  A strange but wonderful combination of white chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallow it is like rice krispie treat on steroids!  Unfortunately, the RMCF closest to my house has since closed, so I was without by beloved Avalanche Bar.

Until now.

I have no idea why I would have ever spent so much money on these treats when they are so simple to make.  All you need is a microwave and a bowl and you are set.

Oh yeah, and the ingredients…duh

Avalanche Bars

Get some peanut butter and white chocolate ready.

Melt them both together

Add in your cereal and let that sit for a bit.  Then add in your extra marshmallows and mini chips and press into your pan.

Cut into squares!

These will be the only avalanche that I will ever love

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