Ingredients

Main

4 sleeves Ritz crackers (120 crackers)
1 1/4 cups creamy, no-stir peanut butter, like Jif
About 20 ounces chocolate bark or melting wafers
Flaky sea salt or festive sprinkles, optional

Instructions

6 steps

Preparation

Line three 11 x 17-inch baking sheets with parchment paper.

Assembly

Spread the peanut butter evenly onto half of the crackers, using about a teaspoon of peanut butter per cracker. Then top them with the other crackers and press down gently to make peanut butter cracker sandwiches. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheets.

Chocolate Melting

Add the chocolate bark to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted. This took 2 minutes for me but microwaves vary. Stir until all the chocolate is melted.

Dipping

Use a fork to dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate one at a time. Use the fork to flip the cracker sandwich to cover all sides in chocolate. Next, pick it up on the fork and tap the fork on the side of the cup to allow excess chocolate to drip off.

Setting & Finishing

Place each cracker on the parchment-lined baking sheets. Top with flaky sea salt or sprinkles, if using, while the chocolate is still melty. Let set at room temperature until the chocolate has hardened, about 30 minutes. Discard any leftover chocolate.
