What do you do when you’ve got guests coming over and no time to lose? No bake treats my friends – they’re a lifesaver!

I am a huge fan of no bake treats year-round. I mean, for obvious reasons, baking in the summer (especially here in Sacramento) can be a nightmare. But no bake treats are a lifesaver during the holidays too. I love having my oven freed up for other things like pies, cookies, and cakes.

Today I’ve got a no-bake treat that is guaranteed to knock your socks off – especially if you’re a peanut butter lover like I am. I don’t know if you’ve ever had an avalanche cookie but they are all sorts of awesome. Traditionally they are made with crispy rice cereal and are a favorite with the kids.

Well, I took the avalanche cookie and mashed it together with one of my all-time favorite holiday treats – popcorn balls. The result? Simply fabulous. These No Bake Avalanche Popcorn Treats will forever be on our holiday to-do list.

Instead of melting the marshmallows and then adding the popcorn, the vanilla candy coating (CandiQuik or Almond Bark) is melted and mixed together with peanut butter first. In goes the popcorn, marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips.

All you do is drop them willy nilly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the fridge. I use an ice cream scoop to make quick work of it but the whole point of these treats is to look haphazard. Ha! I wish all recipes were “supposed” to look like that lol!

      I don’t know if I would put them in the freezer. I’m worried about the popcorn getting moist as they defrost…

    These look really yummy!! Has anyone tried this recipe with something other than peanut butter?? Perhaps cookie butter or sunflower seed butter? My daughter is allergic to nuts so I need to make her a batch separate from the rest of the family.

    Are the popcorn ball hard, not sticky when done? or do you need a napkin to eat them?
