Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 5 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Can substitute with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Dairy-free chocolate chips can be used for specific dietary needs.
  • 1/2 cup red and green holiday sprinkles Can replace with other seasonal-themed toppings.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and melted.
  3. Pour the melted mixture over the crispy rice cereal and stir well to coat every piece.
  4. Gently fold in the red and green holiday sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  5. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape them into rounds.
  6. Allow the cookie rounds to set at room temperature for about one hour or until firm to the touch.
Storage
  1. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  2. For a firmer texture, refrigerate them. They can also be frozen for up to two months; just layer between parchment paper in a freezer-safe container.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding crushed candy canes for a peppermint crunch or using dark chocolate chips for a richer taste. Don’t skip the parchment paper as it makes removal easy.
