Ingredients
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the Sandwiches: Spread about one teaspoon of creamy peanut butter onto one side of a Ritz cracker, then top it with another cracker to form a sandwich. Repeat this to make 12 sandwich cookies.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each peanut butter sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Set the Cookies: Place the dipped sandwiches onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to set and harden at room temperature or refrigerate for about 20 minutes until firm.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for easier spreading and a smooth texture inside the cookie.
- For a different flavor, try substituting peanut butter with almond butter or Nutella.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Optional: Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the chocolate before it sets for an enhanced salty-sweet flavor.
