Ritz Peanut Butter Chocolate Sandwiches Recipe

Introduction

Ritz Peanut Butter Chocolate Sandwiches are a delightful blend of salty, sweet, and creamy flavors wrapped in a crunchy cracker. These no-bake treats are perfect for quick snacks, parties, or satisfying a chocolate craving with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• 48 Ritz crackers
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• 8 oz milk chocolate melting wafers
• 8 oz white chocolate melting wafers
• 2 tsp coconut oil, divided (1 tsp per chocolate)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Step 2: Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter onto the flat side of a Ritz cracker.
3. Step 3: Top with another cracker to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining crackers.
4. Step 4: Place the sandwiches in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
5. Step 5: In two separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the milk chocolate wafers with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and the white chocolate wafers with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
6. Step 6: Dip each sandwich into the chocolate of choice, tapping off any excess chocolate.
7. Step 7: Place the dipped sandwiches back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet, if desired.
8. Step 8: Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Tips & Variations

• For easier dipping, make sure the sandwiches are very firm from the freezer before dipping them into melted chocolate.
• Try swapping peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter for a different nutty flavor or to accommodate allergies.
• Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets to enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
• Use dark chocolate melting wafers instead of milk chocolate for a richer taste.

Storage

Store the peanut butter chocolate sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For best texture, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving. These treats do not freeze well once coated in chocolate.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of melting wafers?

Yes, but melting wafers are designed to melt smoothly and harden with a glossy finish. If using regular chocolate, chop it finely and melt slowly over low heat or in short microwave bursts to avoid burning.

What if I don’t have coconut oil?

You can substitute coconut oil with a small amount of vegetable oil or leave it out, but the chocolate may not melt as smoothly or harden with the same shine.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Sandwiches

• 48 Ritz crackers
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter

Chocolate Coating

• 8 oz milk chocolate melting wafers
• 8 oz white chocolate melting wafers
• 2 tsp coconut oil (divided; 1 tsp per chocolate)

Optional

• Sprinkles for topping

Instructions

1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to keep the sandwiches from sticking after dipping.
2. Make peanut butter sandwiches: Spread about 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter on the flat side of a Ritz cracker, then top it with another cracker to form a sandwich. Repeat this process with all crackers.
3. Freeze to firm up: Place the completed sandwiches in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. This step helps the peanut butter firm up, making them easier to dip.
4. Melt the chocolates: In two separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the milk chocolate wafers with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and the white chocolate wafers with the remaining 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Use 30-second intervals, stirring in between to achieve a smooth consistency.
5. Dip sandwiches in chocolate: Dip each peanut butter sandwich into the melted chocolate of choice, making sure it is fully coated, then tap off any excess chocolate.
6. Decorate: Place the dipped sandwiches onto the lined baking sheet. Before the chocolate hardens, top them with sprinkles if desired for added texture and color.
7. Chill to set: Refrigerate the dipped sandwiches for 15 to 20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm.

Notes

• Use melting wafers specifically for smoother melting and better coating texture.
• For easier dipping, keep the sandwiches cold so the peanut butter stays firm.
• Customize with your favorite sprinkles or crushed nuts before chocolate sets.
• Store finished sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
