White Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Valentine Cookies Recipe
These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Valentine Cookies are a sweet and salty treat that comes together in no time.
Ingredients
- Ritz crackers, (1/2 of 13.7-oz. package, or approx. 60 crackers)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 24 oz white chocolate or almond bark
- Valentine's Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or wax paper to keep the cookies from sticking.
- Add a spoonful of peanut butter to one Ritz cracker, then place another cracker on top to make a sandwich. Continue until all the crackers are used.
- Microwave the white chocolate or almond bark in 15 to 30 second bursts, stirring between each round, until it melts into a smooth, creamy texture. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Carefully dip each peanut butter cracker sandwich into the melted white chocolate, turning it until it is fully coated.
- Set the white chocolate–covered cookies onto the lined baking sheet to cool and firm up.
- If desired, drizzle extra white chocolate over the top using a spoon or piping bag for a decorative finish.
- Sprinkle Valentine's Day sprinkles over the cookies while the chocolate is still soft so they stick.
- Allow the cookies to rest for at least 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Once set, arrange the cookies on a serving tray or package them for gifting. Enjoy immediately or store them for later.
