Avalanche Balls

This is a recipe I came across at a local cafe. I guessed at the ingredients and knew it was close to the Avalanche Bark sold at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Having this candy into a ball is much more eating friendly than the bulky chunks of bark pieces. This is a great way to make something quick for a potluck or a treat for the co-workers or friends. Enjoy!

Avalanche Balls

1 – 16oz. package of white chocolate chips (or any good white chocolate, the better the chocolate, the better the recipe)
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup rice crispy cereal
1 cup mini marshmallows
Mini semi sweet chocolate chips for décor

In a double boiler (NOT microwave, white chocolate will burn in microwave), combine white chocolate with peanut butter. Constantly stir with spatula until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Take off the bowl from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Once mixture is cool, add rice crispy cereal and marshmallows (if your mixture is too hot, it will melt marshmallows). Continue to cool until mixture starts to harden. Spoon mixture with a small scoop, patting down excess mixture from the bowl (make sure the mixture is condensed together to make a ball). Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and continue to cool in the refrigerator.
