Here's my second trial recipe for our rice krispy treat death match coming up in a month. Recipe here. It's supposedly a knockoff of the avalanche bars you can get at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. The candy apples always call my name there, so I haven't tried these so-called avalanche bars. What intrigued me about this recipe is that the base is melted white chocolate and peanut butter. You can't go wrong there, huh? Well, actually melted white chocolate can go very, very wrong as I learned with Scott during our first fall as a married couple trying to make the aforementioned candied apples. I wondered why the white chocolate was so chunky, so I just kept putting it back in the microwave. And, as you can imagine, it just got worse and worse. We've learned that lesson, so I was very gentle with my white chocolate melting this time around.
These were really good, but a little too sweet for my tastes. I couldn't even finish my helping. I don't mind not being able to finish something because it's so richly chocolaty that I just can't take another bite, but not because it's too sickeningly sweet. That doesn't mean that I haven't stolen little chunks off of the pan in the fridge. They really are good, just in small doses I think.
