Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups Rice Krispies, 2 cups dry roasted peanuts, and 2 cups miniature marshmallows; stir to mix evenly.
  • Place the 2 pounds white chocolate chips and 1 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 1 minute, stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. (If your bowl is too small, melt the chips in batches and combine.)
  • Pour the melted white chocolate–peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold until all pieces are evenly coated; the mixture will be slightly runny.
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the waxed paper, spacing them apart.
  • Let the drops set at room temperature until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Store the finished krispie clusters in an airtight container.

I use smooth peanut butter, but crunchy peanut butter will work fine.
I use Planter’s dry roasted peanuts. Feel free to substitute cocktail peanuts.
You can make the candy drops as large or as small as you wish.
