Calories: 196kcal
Ingredients
- 48 ritz crackers
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter your favorite kind
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 12 ounces Chocolate Almond Bark or chocolate candy melts
- holiday sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- 1. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- 2. Place 24 Ritz crackers on the baking sheet.
- 3. Spoon about ½ tablespoon of peanut butter onto each cracker.
- 4. Gently press another cracker on top of the peanut butter to create a sandwich.
- 5. If you are melting chocolate in the microwave, place almond bark and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. (Alternatively, you can use a double boiler.)
- 7. Dip one sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate, pressing it gently to ensure it's coated.
- 8. Use a fork to lift the sandwich from the chocolate, gently tapping the fork to remove any excess chocolate.
- 9. Place the coated sandwich cookie back on the parchment paper.
- 10. If desired, top with sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
- 11. Repeat the process with the remaining sandwiches.
- 12. Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets. For quicker setting, refrigerate them for about 15 minutes.
- Store Ritz Cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze them for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Use a double boiler for better control over the temperature of the chocolate.
- Use two forks: One to press the cookie into the chocolate and to cover and one to lift out and shake off excess chocolate.
- Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to thin the chocolate and to create a glossy finish.
