Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Ritz crackers
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or shortening)
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking.
Lay out 12 Ritz crackers on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly on each cracker.
Top each peanut butter-topped cracker with another Ritz cracker to create a sandwich. Press gently to seal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Dip each Ritz cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, using a fork or tongs to ensure it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle decorative sprinkles over the cookies while the chocolate is still wet for added color and texture.
Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and hardened.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
