Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Cookies are a delightful sweet and salty treat that combines creamy peanut butter sandwiched between two Ritz crackers and dipped in chocolate. Here’s a simple recipe to make these addictive cookies:
Ingredients:
- – 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 36 crackers)
- – 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- – 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- – Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt, etc.
Instructions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper for easy cleanup.
2. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one side of each Ritz cracker, then sandwich them together with another cracker to make a peanut butter-filled sandwich. Repeat with the remaining crackers and peanut butter.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
4. Using a fork or a dipping tool, carefully dip each peanut butter-filled Ritz cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the dipped cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the dipped cookies with chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt, or any other toppings of your choice while the chocolate is still wet.
6. Repeat the dipping process with the remaining peanut butter-filled Ritz cracker sandwiches.
7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and harden.
8. Once the chocolate is firm, remove the cookies from the refrigerator and transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
9. Serve the Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Cookies chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!
These cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth and are great for parties, potlucks, or any occasion. They’re quick and easy to make, and the combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and salty crackers is simply irresistible. Enjoy!
