Why are my Ting a Lings falling apart?

You may need a little more white chocolate or a little less cereal. Adjust until the mixture holds together when scooped.

Can I use white almond bark instead of chocolate chips?

Yes, almond bark melts beautifully and gives these clusters a smooth, sweet finish.

Can I make these ahead?

Absolutely. They are perfect for making a day or two before a party or gifting because they keep their shape and texture so well.

Can I use flavored white chocolate?

Yes, peppermint white chocolate is amazing around the holidays.

Do I need to refrigerate them?

Only if your kitchen is warm. Otherwise room temperature is perfect.

White Chocolate Ting-a-Lings are the easiest no-bake holiday cookies you only need a few ingredients, one bowl, and about 10 minutes of hands-on time. They’re crunchy, sweet, festively speckled, and perfect for last-minute holiday treats or gifting.

When I’m building a big holiday dessert tray, I love pairing these with my Easy Christmas Cookies and my soft, buttery Cream Cheese Cookies. Together they make the prettiest mix of colors, flavors, and textures for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups crispy rice cereal
½ cup butter
12 oz white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: holiday sprinkles or crushed nuts

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring until completely smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the crispy rice cereal and gently fold until all the cereal is fully coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment, forming small clusters.
Add sprinkles or nuts on top if desired.
Let the cookies set at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, or refrigerate to speed up the process.

Notes

Add-ins: Mix in peanuts, pretzel pieces, or mini marshmallows for extra texture.
Chocolate options: Swap white chocolate for almond bark for a smoother melt.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 5–7 days.
Freezing: Freeze in a single layer, then store in freezer bags for up to 2 months. They thaw quickly at room temp.
