Description

These no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies are a quick and easy sweet-and-salty treat made with just four ingredients—Ritz crackers, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and chocolate.


Ingredients

  • 60 Ritz crackers
  • 1½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line an 18 × 13‑inch baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and place 30 crackers face‑down in even rows.
  2. Stir together peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
  3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto each cracker (do not spread).
  4. Top with another cracker, face‑up, pressing gently until filling nears the cracker edge.
  5. Chill in the fridge for 25 minutes or in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm up.
  6. Melt chocolate chips in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring between, until smooth.
  7. Dip each sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate, flipping to coat, then tap off the excess.
  8. Return the dipped cookies to the tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate sets.
  9. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge or freezer as desired.

Notes

  • Use creamy no-stir peanut butter like Jif or Skippy for best results.
  • To thin the chocolate for dipping, add a teaspoon of coconut oil while melting.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Try topping with sprinkles or sea salt before chocolate sets for extra flair.
