Ingredients
30 Ritz crackers
15 miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
10 oz melting chocolate wafers (milk or semi-sweet)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for shinier chocolate)
Coarse sea salt or festive sprinkles (for topping)
Instructions
1. Place 15 Ritz crackers face down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Top each cracker with a mini Reese’s cup.
3. Add a second Ritz cracker on top and gently press to form a sandwich.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate wafers and optional coconut oil.
5. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until fully melted and smooth.
6. Use a fork or dipping tool to coat each cracker sandwich in melted chocolate.
7. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place on parchment paper.
8. While still wet, top with sea salt or sprinkles.
9. Allow to set at room temp or chill in fridge for 15 minutes until firm.
10. Serve, store, or share!
Notes
For the smoothest coating, use melting wafers instead of chocolate chips.
Chill the cookie sandwiches before dipping to help the Reese’s hold their shape.
Store with parchment between layers to keep the cookies from sticking together.
