Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies are delicious and give you everything; crunchy, sweet and salty. No baking required and you only need three ingredients.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 48 Ritz crackers
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 10 oz Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Flavored Melting Wafers
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- With 24 crackers, spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on the center of the cracker. No need to spread it. Then place a second cracker on top of the peanut butter and lightly press down.
- Now it's time to melt the chocolate. Microwave method: place chocolate wafers in a microwave safe container and use defrost setting for 30 seconds. Stir and if it's not completely melted, microwave at 15 second intervals and stir until smooth. Do not let it overheat. Stove Top Method: place chocolate wafers in top pan of a double boiler over low heat. You want to stir it constantly until smooth and melted. Don't allow the water to boil.
- Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, with either two forks or kitchen tongs so the excess chocolate is able to drain off. Coat it completely. Place the coated cookies back onto the lined baking sheet.
- If you have space in your refrigerator, place the cookies inside and allow 30 minutes to set. If you don't have space(like we typically don't), let them sit on the counter for about an hour to get firm.
- Store cookies in a cool and dry place.
