Best Ever No-Bake Rocky Road Avalanche Bars are my latest obsession. I have made them at least 12 times and everyone raves about them. A simple recipe with chocolate and peanut butter with a candy crunch that comes together in a snap? Sign me up, twice!

With the perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter, these no-bake bars are utterly addictive.
Soft, billowy marshmallows and crispy rice cereal come together with the rich and creamy chocolate peanut butter candy filling to create this memorable dessert. For a butterscotch twist, try our scotcheroos.

Helpful Tips to make No-Bake Rocky Road Avalanche Bars:
- You can refrigerate the pan if your kitchen is too warm, or, if you are impatient like me, pop them in the freezer for 20 minutes.
What you will need to make No-Bake Rocky Road Avalanche Bars:
- 9 x 13-inch Baking Pan- I have my favorites and this set is one of them. The 9×13 is perfect for casseroles and the smaller size is awesome for making 1/2 a casserole recipe.
- Mixing Bowl – I like a variety of mixing bowls and prep bowls and this set has them all.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

No-Bake Rocky Road Avalanche Bars + Video
Ingredients
- 16 ounces chocolate-flavored candy coating, I use Almond Bark or Candiquik
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces Bakers German’s sweet chocolate bar, broken into chunks
- 16.9 ounce jar super chunky peanut butter
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt the chocolate candy coating, chocolate chips and German chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Microwave at half power for 30 seconds at a time until melted and smooth, stirring after each interval.
- Stir the peanut butter into the warm chocolate until melted and smooth. Add the rice cereal, marshmallows and salt and stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Allow it to set in a cool place until firm.
- You can refrigerate the pan if your kitchen is too warm, or, if you are impatient like me, pop them in the freezer for 20 minutes. Once they are solid, cut them into 24 pieces.
- Store in the refrigerator.

These things are delicious and really easy to make! Great hit at our Hanukkah Party! I was a Hero! 🙂
I have never heard of chocolate-flavored candy coating or the 2 brands you mentioned "Almond Bark" or "Candiquik." Where do you find either of these products? Are these products different than the candy melts? I'm in Canada.
Thanks
I think it’s the same as our candy melts.
What is candy coating? I’m in Canada and never heard of this.
These are delicious, and no-bake is the type of recipe for me! So east to put together and my kids love them!
