Description
These delightful chocolate-dipped peanut butter Ritz cookies are perfect for the holidays and make a great treat for any festive gathering!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (such as Jif or Skippy)
- 60 Ritz crackers
- 12 oz. Wilton red candy melts
- 12 oz. Wilton vanilla candy melts (or Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers)
- sprinkles (red, green, and white holiday sprinkles)
- 15 Rolo candies (unwrapped)
- 15 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread 2 teaspoons of peanut butter onto 30 of the crackers; sandwich those together with the remaining 30 crackers.
- Melt the red candy melts according to package directions until melted and smooth.
- Place formed cookie stacks on a fork and dip in the red melted chocolate to coat; gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Transfer back to the prepared baking sheet and allow to set.
- Using the leftover melted chocolate, attach a Rolo and mini Reese’s peanut butter cups to the tops of the ornaments. Let set.
- Melt the white vanilla candy melts according to package directions. Transfer to a piping bag (or plastic bag and snip off a corner.) Drizzle over the red cookies. Top with some holiday sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Allow to fully harden at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the fridge to set faster (about 10 to 15 minutes).
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe is great for holiday parties and gatherings.
