Ingredients
Scale
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
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to keep the sandwiches from sticking after dipping.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
