Happy National Peanut Butter Day!!!! I do love peanut butter and have a special post for you all today to celebrate! I have seen recipes for Avalanche Bars floating around the internet for a while and have wanted to try them.
These are based off of a bar from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I don’t know how these compare because I have never tried one. Every time I have visited Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, I end up leaving with a caramel apple!
For me, these remind me of a Whatchamacallit candy bar but with marshmallow instead of caramel. I love the peanut butter chocolate coating surrounding the Rice Krispie cereal!
These really are best if eaten with in the first day or 2. Otherwise, the marshmallows start to get more chewy. These also are easy to make. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for the bars to get cool enough to eat.
I am also teaming up with some other great bloggers once a month #celebratingfood with things just like National Peanut Butter Day. So for even more peanut butter goodness, check out the image along with links to more recipes at the bottom of this post!
