Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Ritz crackers
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups melting chocolate (milk or dark chocolate)
- 1/4 cup white chocolate (optional for drizzling)
- Holiday sprinkles or nonpareils for decoration
Instructions
- Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one Ritz cracker and top with another cracker to form a sandwich. Repeat until all crackers are used.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between until fully smooth.
- Dip each peanut butter sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle white chocolate over the cookies (optional) and decorate with holiday sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve and enjoy the holiday cheer!
Notes
- You can use dark, milk, or even white chocolate for dipping, depending on your preference.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top for an extra flavor twist.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to one week.
