Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Medium Bowl
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 48 Ritz crackers (or similar buttery round crackers)
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup marshmallow creme
- 1 pound good quality chocolate (about 450g), coarsely chopped
- Holiday sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Prep the Tray: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup super easy!
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and marshmallow creme. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay 24 crackers on your prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin, even layer of the peanut butter-marshmallow mixture onto each cracker. Remember, a thin layer works best to prevent oozing! Top each spread cracker with another Ritz cracker to create delightful little sandwiches.
- Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt your coarsely chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in short bursts of 15-30 seconds, stirring after each burst, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Decorate: Carefully dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate. Use one or two forks to help coat it completely, letting any excess chocolate drip off. Place the dipped stacks back onto the baking sheet. If you wish, sprinkle them with festive holiday sprinkles right away, before the chocolate sets.
- Chill & Enjoy: Place the baking sheet in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate has fully hardened. This usually takes about an hour in the fridge. Once firm, your easy, delicious Christmas treats are ready to be savored!
Notes
Choosing a good quality dark chocolate can be a healthier touch!
