Equipment

  • Sauce pot
  • Rubber scraper
  • Baking pan
  • parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 12 oz white chocolate 1 bag
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups berry Cheerios
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • ½ cup Valentine's M&M's

Instructions

  • Heat a small sauce pan to low-medium heat. Immediately add white chocolate chips. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Next, pour in mini marshmallows. You can do this in the same sauce pot. If your pot isn't large enough, pour the marshmallows into a mixing bowl and then drizzle the white chocolate over them. Fold together until marshmallows are covered. NOTE: The marshmallows are supposed to be almost whole, not melted.
  • Then, crush the pretzels a bit and stir into the sauce pot along with the Berry Cheerios and M&M's.
  • Stir until all of the ingredients are covered in the marshmallow & white chocolate mixture. NOTE: The texture is supposed to be a little runny. We want them to kind of flood out on the pan like an avalanche.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the baking sheet is small enough to fit in the refrigerator. We'll chill the cookies prior to serving.
  • Using a cookie scooper, scoop cookies onto baking sheet. If you don't have a cookie scooper, you can also use a spoon.
  • Top each cookie with a few more Valentine's M&Ms. Then, put in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes or until each cookie has hardened.
  • Serve chilled. You can also allow them to come to room temperature again. You won’t lose a tooth on them if you eat them chilled, rest assured!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in either the fridge (my preference) or on the counter. 
If your white chocolate is stiff after melting, it’s likely it has burned or “seized." This is why you need to stir it constantly while heating and immediately remove it once melted. If you catch the burning chocolate early enough, you may be able to save it by whisking in a tablespoon of water and mixing gently in an attempt to loosen the seized clumps.
