You’ll have to forgive my photos here. I wasn’t planning on posting these to the blog when I set out to make them the other day, but I decided to at the last minute and just quickly snapped a few pictures without setting up for it. I’ll update with better photos the next time I make these!
It never occurred to me to make these for y’all because it’s a pretty popular recipe and I figured you’ve probably seen them plenty. But when I got done making them I realized I veer from the standard recipe a good bit.
And, well, I like my version better so I thought I might share it with you!
The original recipe is called Avalanche Cookies but I can’t bring myself to call them cookies because… they’re not. They’re somewhere between peanut butter fudge and rice krispy treats. We’ve always called them Avalanche Bombs at my house so that’s what I’ll call my recipe.
These are a MAJOR favorite of ours. I make them every Christmas and for birthday parties mostly but sometimes the kids just randomly ask for them and I’m happy to whip up a batch because they’re so easy and because I looooooove them!
I’m not a big marshmallow person but the marshmallows totally work in these treats. I think they cut the sweetness and denseness a bit so instead of a heavy, overly sweet confection, you have a light and airy, perfectly balanced little sweet treat!
