Ingredients
- Ritz crackers
- Peanut butter
- White chocolate chips
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: Ritz crackers, peanut butter, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles (if using). Make sure you have a clean workspace and all necessary tools ready, including a microwave-safe bowl, a baking sheet, and parchment paper.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the crackers from sticking and to make cleanup easier later on.
- Take one Ritz cracker and spread a generous layer of peanut butter on the flat side. Use a butter knife or a small spatula to evenly distribute the peanut butter. Repeat this step for half of the Ritz crackers, as you will be making sandwiches with them.
- Once you have spread peanut butter on half of the crackers, place the remaining crackers on top of each peanut butter-coated cracker to create sandwiches. Gently press down to ensure they stick together.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn easily.
- Once the white chocolate is melted, take each peanut butter Ritz cracker sandwich and dip it into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to fully coat the sandwich, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Carefully place the dipped cracker sandwiches back onto the lined baking sheet. If desired, immediately sprinkle with colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Repeat the dipping process for all the peanut butter Ritz cracker sandwiches until they are all coated in white chocolate.
- Once you have finished dipping, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes, or until the white chocolate has hardened completely.
- After the chocolate has set, remove the crackers from the refrigerator and serve them on a platter. Enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers Dipped in White Chocolate!
Tips
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Always melt white chocolate in short intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning. Use a microwave-safe bowl and go slow!
- Peanut Butter Perfection: Use a smooth, creamy peanut butter for the best spreading consistency. Room temperature peanut butter works best.
- Sprinkle Creativity: Get playful with your sprinkles! Try seasonal colors for holidays or match them to a party theme.
- Chill Factor: Refrigerate the crackers immediately after dipping to help the chocolate set quickly and create a smooth, glossy finish.
- Storage Hack: These treats are best enjoyed within 2-3 days and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Variation Tip: For a gourmet twist, try using dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate, or add a drizzle of caramel.
