Instructions 

This is an overview of the instructions for the Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers Dipped in White Chocolate. For the complete directions just scroll down to the bottom!

1. Line cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Place 16 Ritz crackers on the baking sheet.
2. Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on one side of the crackers.
3. Top with a second cracker to make a "sandwich". Place in freezer or refrigerator until ready to dip.
4. Place white chocolate chips in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add oil. Melt the candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl using 30 second intervals, stirring between each heating. It will take about 1 minute 30-45 seconds to melt the chocolate.
5. When the chocolate is silky smooth dip each peanut butter sandwich into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to tap off the excess chocolate. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with holiday sprinkles.
6. Place in refrigerator until hardened. They can then be stacked in an airtight container. I prefer them cold and serve them right out of the refrigerator.

FAQ's

Things to know

• If you need some help to slide these off the fork, you can use a toothpick. Toothpicks work well without messing up the chocolate.
• Instead of using the microwave to melt the chocolate, you can use the double boiler method, which helps to keep the chocolate warm while you dip it.
• If the chocolate starts to thicken while you are dipping these sandwich crackers, just pop it back into the microwave for 15 second increments until it thins out again.
• If you run the fork across the side of the bowl carefully, that will help you remove some of the excess chocolate, which makes them look neater but also controls the mess.
• I prefer to store no bake cookies in the fridge, however you can also store them at room temperature for a few days.

Variations

• Instead of using peanut butter, you can use almond butter, cashew butter, or even Nutella in the middle to change up the flavor profile.
• You can use a different type of chocolate to suit your preferences use dark chocolate, .semi-sweet chocolate or even milk chocolate chips
• Instead of placing sprinkles on the top, you can top with sea salt for a even more salty flavor.
• I prefer to use creamy peanut butter for the peanut butter filling, but if you want to add more crunchy you can switch it up and use crunchy peanut butter.
• Chocolate almond bark or even white almond bark could also be used for these chocolate peanut butter ritz cookies.
• Turn these into red or green treats by using candy melts into of chocolate for the dipping.
• Add a little marshmallow fluff to the center of the crackers for fluffernutter flavor.

My best tip? Save yourself a step and buy peanut butter ritz crackers. Brilliant, right?!!!

Storage

Refrigerate - Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Freezer - Place the cracker sandwiches in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
