Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted for dipping
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
Base/Cracker:
- 48 Ritz crackers or buttery golden round crackers
Decoration:
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for assembling and cooling the chocolate peanut butter stacks.
- Arrange 24 Ritz crackers on the prepared baking sheet, creating a uniform base for the treat.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend peanut butter and marshmallow creme until achieving a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Carefully spread a thin, even layer of the peanut butter-marshmallow mixture onto each cracker, ensuring not to overfill.
- Gently place a second cracker on top of each spread cracker, forming sandwich-like layers.
- Chop chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
- Transfer chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring between each session to prevent burning.
- If chocolate becomes challenging, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter to restore smooth consistency.
- Using two forks, carefully dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Return chocolate-coated stacks to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While chocolate remains wet, optionally sprinkle with decorative toppings for added flair.
- Refrigerate or freeze for 20-30 minutes until chocolate completely sets and becomes firm to the touch.
- Remove from refrigerator and serve chilled for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure crackers are evenly spaced for consistent chocolate coating and easier handling.
- Use creamy peanut butter for smoother texture and easier mixing with marshmallow creme.
- Control chocolate melting by using low power settings and stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Customize decorations with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or drizzled white chocolate for personalized touch.
