Serves: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Using a butter knife or small offset spatula, spread approximately 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter evenly across each Ritz cracker, ensuring a smooth and consistent layer.
- Place the peanut butter-covered crackers on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the peanut butter to firm up slightly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the chilled crackers from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each peanut butter-covered cracker into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
- Gently tap the fork on the bowl's edge to remove excess chocolate, then place the dipped cracker back on the baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for faster chocolate hardening, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has completely set, transfer the Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers to an airtight container for storage.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature peanut butter for smooth, even spreading
- Chill the crackers before dipping to help the chocolate adhere better
- For a more professional look, use a dipping fork or chocolate dipping tool
- Experiment with different chocolate types: dark, milk, or white chocolate
- Add sprinkles or chopped nuts immediately after dipping for extra texture
- Ensure your chocolate is completely melted and smooth to avoid clumping
- Let excess chocolate drip off to create a clean, professional finish
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the chocolate's glossy appearance
- For a fun variation, try different nut butters like almond or cashew butter
