Description
These Chocolate Ritz Cookies are a delightful, no-bake treat consisting of peanut butter sandwiched between crunchy Ritz crackers, then coated in smooth melted chocolate and sprinkled with festive toppings. Easy to prepare in under 30 minutes, they make an irresistible snack or party dessert.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 72 Ritz crackers (about 3 sleeves)
- 1 cup peanut butter
Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz chocolate almond bark (or chocolate melting candy)
- 1 ounce white almond bark
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles
- 2 teaspoons flaky salt
Instructions
- Assemble sandwiches: Place a small dollop of peanut butter on one Ritz cracker and press another cracker on top to form a sandwich. Repeat until all crackers are used.
- Melt chocolate: Place the 12 oz chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat cookies: Lay out a large piece of parchment or wax paper. Using a fork, dip each peanut butter sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate, fully submerging it. Lift the cookie out and gently tap the fork to remove excess chocolate. Transfer coated cookies onto the parchment paper to set.
- Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, garnish the cookies with sprinkles, drizzle melted white almond bark decoratively, or sprinkle flaky salt as desired. Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Use smooth or crunchy peanut butter based on preference for texture.
- Melt the white almond bark separately to drizzle or decorate as desired.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free option, select dairy-free chocolate almond bark and peanut butter.
- Flaky salt adds a lovely contrast to the sweetness and enhances flavor.
