Ingredients

  • 1 box Ritz crackers: Provides a salty and crunchy base.
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter: Offers a smooth, rich filling.
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or white): For coating the crackers, giving them a sweet shell.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional): Helps make the chocolate coating smooth and glossy.
  • Crushed candy canes or holiday-themed sprinkles: Adds a festive touch and extra crunch.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Sandwiches

  • Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter between two Ritz crackers to form a sandwich. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

  • Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 3: Dip and Coat

  • Dip each peanut butter cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Sprinkle and Garnish

  • While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle each chocolate-dipped sandwich with crushed candy canes or holiday-themed sprinkles for a festive look.

Step 5: Chill and Set

  • Refrigerate the prepared delights for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has fully set.

Variation

  • Try different fillings such as marshmallow fluff, Nutella, or almond butter for a variety of flavors.
  • Use different types of chocolate for coating, like dark chocolate or flavored chocolate, for a unique twist.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thinner chocolate coating, adjust the amount of coconut oil to achieve the desired consistency.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve these delights on a decorative plate or in a festive holiday tin as part of a holiday dessert spread.
  • Pair with hot cocoa or warm apple cider for a cozy holiday snack.

Tips

  • If using white chocolate, consider adding a small amount of peppermint extract to the chocolate for an extra festive flavor.
  • Ensure the crackers are completely cooled after chilling before serving to maintain the crisp texture.
