Ritz Cracker Christmas Treats (Printable Version)
Buttery crackers filled with peanut butter, dipped in chocolate, and decorated with colorful sprinkles for a festive treat.
# Everything You’ll Need:
→ Base
01 -
2 sleeves (approximately 60) buttery round crackers (Ritz)
→ Filling
02 -
1 cup creamy peanut butter or preferred nut/seed butter
→ Coating
03 -
3 cups white chocolate chips or white candy melts
04 -
1 to 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for smooth dipping)
→ Decoration
05 -
1/4 cup festive red and green sprinkles
06 -
Flaky sea salt (optional)
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange 30 crackers rounded side up. Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on each cracker, then top each with another cracker to form a sandwich. If the filling is soft, refrigerate sandwiches for 5 to 10 minutes to firm.
02 -
Place chocolate chips and optional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
03 -
Using a fork, dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place coated sandwiches onto parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle with festive sprinkles and optional flaky sea salt.
04 -
Refrigerate the dipped sandwiches for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use plain buttery crackers rather than flavored varieties. Chill runny peanut butter before use to prevent oozing. Coconut oil improves the chocolate's dip-ability and smoothness. Apply sprinkles while the coating is still wet to ensure adherence. Keeping the cookies slightly chilled maintains a crisp and clean chocolate coating.
