Description
These Ritz Cracker Christmas Cookies are a perfect blend of sweet, salty, and creamy. Made with peanut butter sandwiched between buttery crackers, dipped in chocolate, and decorated with festive sprinkles, these no-bake treats are ideal for holiday celebrations.
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
- For a smoother texture, use creamy peanut butter.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate if you prefer a thicker or thinner coating.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
