Avalanche Bark Yumminess

Sometimes I need a break from cupcakes so that I don't get too overloaded. One of my favorite go-to easy-to-make desserts is Avalanche Bark. It's made with rice krispies, peanut butter, white chocolate chips, marshmallows, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Drooling yet? You can find a link for the recipe here.

Kellogg's Version of Cupcakes

Kellogg's Rice Krispie treats are one of my favorite desserts. I don't know anyone who doesn't love them. And there are so many different version of Rice Krispie treats, like the Avalanche Bark I featured on here a few weeks ago.

Came across this recipe for Crunch-A-Bunch Cupcakes (via CTTC). Basically the recipe makes Rice Krispie treats, which you scoop into cupcake liners. (I would place the liners in a cupcake pan so that the treats can harden in the correct shape.) Last, you decorate the tops of the treats with frosting and sprinkles.

The Crunch-A-Bunch Cupcakes look like cupcakes, but they taste like Rice Krispie treats topped with frosting. Yummy! The best thing about this recipe is that you can improvise with whatever ingredient would would like: peanut butter, chocolate chips, white chocolate....

P.S. Don't forget to enter my giveaway for the Strawberry Cupcake Necklace. Giveaway ends on Friday at midnight.

Homemade Avalanche Bark

Besides a million other things, my friend Jill and I share a special bond: sweets. We both love sweets more than practically anything else.

Jill is almost 37 weeks pregnant. Neither of us have kids yet, so this is a pretty big deal! Last night I threw her a baby shower. Of course, I made sure there were plenty of treats to get us on an everlasting sugar-high.

One of the desserts I brought was Avalanche Bark. If you've never tried or even heard of Avalanche Bark, you have been missing out. You can find Avalance Bark at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, but I recently came across the recipe on cookies and cups.

Avalanche Bark is similar to rice krispie treats, except there's even more goodness: semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Super easy to make, no baking involved.
