Avalanche Bars are delicious no bake bars filled with Rice Krispies cereal coated with white chocolate and peanut butter with marshmallows and chocolate chips mixed in.
I love the crunch that Rice Krispies add to baked goods. If you do too, try Almond Bark Drop Cookies!
Happy Tuesday! Back to the real world today, huh? That long weekend sure was nice.
This morning I have to take Penelope (#idiothusky) to the vet for her regular ol’ checkup. And the big plan is to drop her off and then call Clementine’s (the cockapoo) hair girl to see if she can squeeze her in before Penelope gets home.
Because, yeah, you guessed it. She still thinks Clem is a new dog whenever she gets a haircut. Like, she actually growls at her and won’t let her near the food bowls. This has happened every 8 weeks for 2 years now.
IdiotHusky for real.
So I’m hoping that if it happens while she’s gone, she’ll come home and think “Hey, you look different. But you’re still Clem.”
These are the things you have to think about when you live with a husky.
Ingredients
- White chocolate chips – this makes the sticky part of the bars that hold everything together.
- Creamy peanut butter – you could use crunchy peanut butter if you want a little extra crunch in the bars.
- Rice Krispies cereal – you could switch it up and do Cocoa Krispies if you are a chocolate lover!
- Mini marshmallows
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine ingredients. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together over super low heat. Stir constantly until smooth. Put Rice Krispies in a large mixing bowl and pour the white chocolate peanut over it. Stir until all the cereal is coated.
- Cool slightly. Let cool for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in marshmallows and chocolate chips. Once cool, stir in mini marshmallows and ¼ cup mini chocolate chips.
- Transfer to pan. Transfer the mixture into a 9×9 pan and gently press down to make it all even.
- Add topping. Press the remaining 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips into the top.
- Serve! Let set completely before cutting and serving.
How Long Are They Good For?
These are best within 2 days of making them. After that, they start to dry out. Make sure to store them at room temperature in an airtight container.
Can You Freeze Them?
You can freeze these avalanche bars for up to 2 months. I recommend wrapping them in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer ziploc bag.
When you are ready to enjoy them, let them sit at room temperature for several hours, until defrosted.

That’s crazy, my grandparent’s dog’s name is Penelope! I always thought it was uncommon.
But these bars! They look amazing!

Laura says
This post made my day, mostly because I live with an IdiotDog myself. Not a husky, but every bit as nutty. Actually I live with 2 of them. Although they do both still recognize my Golden Doodle after a haircut lol.
Love these bars–I am a Rice Krispy Treat fiend, so I am excited to try these!
Chelsea @chelseasmessyapron says
HAHA!! Oh your husky is so funny! I love all the IG pictures of Penelope. And good luck at the vet! I agree – anything that starts with rice krispies is bound to be a winner! YUM and perfect for game day!!
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
You are not making me want a husky. You ARE making me want Avalanche Bars. Immediately.

Marissa says
I’m cracking up that Penelope doesn’t recognize Clementine after her haircut – just too dang funny!! Love these bars too – I have no self control when it comes to rice crispy treats of any kind…
Sara @ Bitz & Giggles says
Penelope sounds like a sweetheart and I’m thinking she sure keeps things interesting around your house! These bars look incredible. PINNING!!
Danae @ Recipe Runner says
Your husky sounds like a real trip! Reminds me of the dog we had growing up. Avalanche bars are one of my favorites. I remember my grandma used to sell these along side the pies in her pie shop, so good!
Kelley says
Those are all legit concerns when it comes to a husky. my biggest worry is “Ahh man, did I push the bread far enough back on the counter that they dogs won’t get it?” Most of the time the answer is no. womp womp.
Amy @ A Healthy Life For Me says
Totally get the growling thing. My Airedale growls at my son when he walks in the door, like he doesn’t know who he is. I blame it on bad eye sight. Great recipe- peanut butter makes everything taste better, well and chocolate of course.
Amanda says
I love everything about this!!!
Paula Jones says
So good. These are the treats I like to munch on!

Oh my gosh, Penelope! I am still laughing. Great name for your great looking treats too. :)
