These delightful Ritz Cracker Cookies are a quick and easy no-bake treat combining crunchy Ritz crackers, creamy peanut butter, and sweet white chocolate with festive holiday sprinkles. Perfect for holiday gatherings or anytime you crave a sweet and salty snack.

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 60 Ritz crackers
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Coating

  • 6-8 oz. white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • Holiday sprinkles
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie sandwiches: Spread 30 Ritz crackers in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter into the center of each cracker. Top each with another cracker, gently pressing to form a sandwich. You should have 30 sandwiches in total.
  2. Chill the sandwiches: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 7-10 minutes to allow the peanut butter to slightly harden, which helps keep the sandwiches intact during chocolate dipping.
  3. Melt the white chocolate: While chilling the sandwiches, place white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If the melted chocolate is too thick for dipping, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil to thin it out.
  4. Dip and decorate: Working quickly, dip one side of each peanut butter sandwich into the melted white chocolate, or alternatively, use a spoon to spread the chocolate over one side. Immediately sprinkle with holiday sprinkles, then place the cookie flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with all cookies.
  5. Set the chocolate: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet at room temperature until the chocolate coating is fully set, about 1 hour.
  6. Store: Once set, transfer cookies to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week to keep fresh and maintain their texture.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for easiest spreading and best texture.
  • If you prefer, substitute the white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate chips.
  • Adding coconut oil helps achieve a smooth and thin coating, making dipping easier.
  • Decorate with any festive sprinkles or colored sugar to customize for holidays or parties.
  • Keep cookies refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
