Gluten Free… Favorite Sweet Treat

I have a sweet tooth.. no, no…I really do! I know that I haven’t made this obvious here on my blog what with the lack of commentary on Top Pot doughnuts and utter silence about Snickers. So if this comes as a surprise please forgive me… my sweet tooth is sooo gnarly that it cannot be contained by my inability to eat gluten…right now.

So I GIVE YOU…all 10 readers…my favorite gluten-free (to my knowledge) treat!

THIS STUFF...this is it.
THIS STUFF…this is it.

Avalanche Bark*

1 package (12 oz) package Nestle White Chocolate Chips

1/4-1/2 cup peanut butter of your choice

3-5 cups Rice Krispies

1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips*

*Feel free to manipulate the ratio of ingredients based on your inclinations; I think the only real rule here is that there is a chocolate-peanut butter base and rice cereal. Everything else is up to you, be brave; add sprinkles at your own peril.

It really doesn’t get much easier than this recipe, seriously. Ready?

Low heat is key, white chocolate melts easily.

5. Plop into whatever receptacle strikes your fancy for cooling. I use a large, rectangular glass baking dish. This is the part where you would add the semi-sweet chips if you’re into that. I love chocolate, but it hates me so I abstain…don’t be like me…and please don’t tell me how great it is. I know it’s awesome.

Get in my face!
Get in my face!

6. Lick everything…

It only takes a few minutes to cool to a reasonable temperature so there is really very little waiting here. You can see why I’m obsessed.  Want > Make > Eat in like 15 minutes > Dangerous!! You have been warned.
