Now let’s talk about these Rocky Road Avalanche Bars!
They’re pretty much as irresistible as you’d think. Three types of silky chocolate mixed with crunchy rice cereal, pillowy marshmallows, and nut butter. I mean, COME ON. Heaven!
The original recipe calls for peanut butter (of course. sigh.), but luckily I can easily sub in almond butter or sunflower butter for most desserts, and these were no exception. The kids went bonkers when they got home from school to see them sitting on the counter.
These are dangerously good!
