Easy No Bake Avalanche Cookies – just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes to make this cookie version of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory’s Avalanche Bark!
Exactly 2 weeks until Christmas. Are you ready? I am not even close! Still have gifts to buy, haven’t wrapped a thing, and have a few more things that I want to bake. My in-laws arrive next weekend, so I need to get my butt in gear!
We did figure out what we are going to make for Christmas dinner though. So one thing has been decided and is actually ordered. If you are in the same boat, these no bake avalanche cookies are right up your alley. They only take 5 minutes!! Check out the video at the bottom for a quick how-to!
This last weekend I had a cookie exchange with a group of friends. I was struggling with what to make. I had made homemade caramel cups, but overnight the caramel leaked out and it was a giant mess. After spending literally hours the day before, I was not in the mood to do a lot of work. I wanted something No Bake that would be quick.
So I made these no bake avalanche cookies. They are so easy and just 4 ingredients! I spent about 5 minutes mixing them up and spooning them onto a cookie sheet. Then they just needed to set up before I could package them in bags for the cookies exchange. Couldn’t be easier!
These easy no bake avalanche cookies were such a hit at the last cookie exchange, I am making them again this weekend for a different exchange! The original version is made with peanut butter, but because I knew there were some families with peanut allergies I used Biscoff Spread.
The Biscoff gives the avalanche cookies a little extra flavor that is perfect for the holidays. I have made these cookies a few times with peanut butter, with Biscoff spread and with a combination of each. So mix it up and see what your family likes best!!
Some of my favorite Kitchen Items used in this recipe
Silicone Baking Mats – I love these for baking cookies, pizza, bread, and just about anything else. Nothing sticks, and clean up is a breeze!
Sheet Pans: A good quality, durable sheet pan is great for baking cookies, roasting veggies, or full sheet pan dinner. These are my favorite kind and have been using them for years.
Mixing Bowls: I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes has been an essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of the durability.
Rubber Spatula – Nothing like being able to scrape any type of bowl clean without scratching it up. Don’t forget one of these babies to get every last bit out of your bowl.

Ugh – I’m soooo in your boat! How nice to have these cookies to turn to for any (I’m expecting a few) last-minute situations! I love the Biscoff in these!
Cyndi - My Kitchen Craze says
I’ve wanted to make no bake cookies for so long, but never get around to it. I think I need to finally do it and make these. They look yummy! 🙂
Michelle | A Dish of Daily Life says
I need to get on the ball. I am not even remotely close to done shopping, and I still have a ton of baking to do. These look delicious….no bake sounds perfect to me. I’m adding this to my “baking” list!
Tammie Hancock says
So do you cook the chocolate and peanut butter or do you microwave them?
Erin S says
I use the microwave to melt the white chocolate. Once it is melted, I just stir in the peanut butter. The heat from the white chocolate melts the peanut butter slowly. Just use short intervals, stirring in between when melting the chocolate. Enjoy!
Carrie @Frugal Foodie Mama says
Oh my gosh! Could these be any easier to make?? These are definitely going on my holiday goodies list. 🙂
Katerina @ Diethood says
I am making these with my little girls! They’re gonna LOVE ME! 😀
shannon says
have you made these with regular chocolate? I don’t like white?
Erin S says
I have not. There is no reason why it wouldn’t work. The white chocolate is just there for sweetness and when it hardens, it keeps the shape of the cookie. Just make sure you use a good chocolate that is sweet enough for your liking, because there is no added sugar. Enjoy!
Cookin Canuck says
I am so unprepared for Christmas this year – trying not to panic! These sound like the perfect Christmas treat to make with my kids.
Sara | Belly Rumbles says
So easy and so yummy.
debbie ingawanup says
could you make these with white chocolate chips?
Erin S says
Debbie – do you mean instead of the almond bark? Yes, you could melt white chocolate chips and use them instead for sure!
Joanie says
Has anyone tried the avalanche cookies WITHOUT the marshmallows? If so , how did they turn out? I was thinking just substitute more krispies in their place?? The hubs isn’t fond of the marshies (even though I will be also making a batch WITH them for the rest of us , lol) Thanks in advance for any insight … & happy baking!
Erin S says
I would work without marhsmallows for sure. You could use peanuts instead if he likes those. Enjoy!
Lucy Honey says
Just found this recipe & am going to try it out with some peanut butter my hubbie got from US on business trip last year – looks so quick & easy! I don’t like Biscoff but maybe it could work with dulce de leche?
Erin S says
Not sure ducle de leche would work. May be Nutella?
Meghan says
Oh my gosh, my grandma used to make these all the time and I lost the recipe!! Can’t wait to try these!
Chrissie Baker says
I want to try the recipe of your cookie! You make it so easy. Great idea for a festive table. My whole family would go crazy for these!
Dorothy at Shockinglydelish says
I think I must make two batches. One batch with peanut butter. One batch with the cookie butter. I hate that I have to taste them both to decide which I like best! 🙂
