Equipment

  • Measuring cup
  • Butter knife
  • Baking sheet
  • Small microwave safe bowl
  • Spoon and fork
  • Tin foil or parchment paper

Ingredients

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 30 Ritz crackers 1 sleeve
  • 10-12 oz almond bark melting wafers
  • sprinkles of choice

Instructions

  • Spread approximately 1 tsp of your favorite creamy peanut butter on the flat side of one Ritz cracker in an even, but thick layer.
  • Add a second Ritz cracker and create a "sandwich" or a cookie. Press the crackers between your fingers until the peanut butter is evenly distributed, and wipe away the excess with your finger.
  • Place the Ritz cracker cookies on a baking sheet and put into the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt your almond bark (or chocolate melting wafers) in 30 second intervals until completely melted (1-2 minutes).
  • Remove the Ritz cracker cookies from the freezer and begin dipping them. To do this, place the cookie into the almond bark. Then, using a spoon, scoop the almond bark over top until the cookie is completely coated.
  • With a fork, lift the cookie up and gently wiggle it for 10 to 15 seconds to remove the excess almond bark. Scrape the fork on the side of the bowl and place the Ritz cracker cookie on tin foil or parchment paper. Once you've done this with 3 to 4 cookies, decorate them with your favorite sprinkles. Continue this process, making the cookies in batches, until all 15 are complete.
  • Allow the cookies to set for 10 minutes before eating!

Notes

  • Use your favorite creamy peanut butter, but be sure to use one that is shelf-stable and doesn't require refrigeration.
  • Use almond bark or melting wafers, not actual chocolate.
  • Freeze the cookies before dipping them so the peanut butter doesn't melt into the almond bark.
  • Use a fork to remove the Ritz cracker cookies from the almond bark to remove excess.
  • Dip 3-4 cookies, decorate them and repeat so the almond bark doesn't have a chance to set before you add your sprinkles.
