How to make chocolate peanut butter ritz cookies

These ritz cracker cookies come together in hardly any time at all. Prep time is a breeze, requiring only around 15 minutes for full assembly. Total time depends on whether you let the crackers harden at room temperature or in the fridge or freezer.

First, lay all of the Ritz crackers round side down on the baking sheet.

Add 1 tsp of peanut butter to 28 crackers. To the other 28, add 1 tsp of fluff. Press the crackers together so that they’re tight, but not so much that the fillings are oozing out.

Then, melt the white chocolate at half power in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds.

Once melted, dunk the cracker sandwiches into the melted chocolate, tossing to coat completely. Use a fork to transfer the crackers from the bowl to a parchment lined sheet pan. You can also use wax paper. Feel free to drizzle any excess chocolate over the crackers.

Sprinkle with holiday sprinkles and chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating hardens. Optionally let harden on the counter at room temperature.
