WHITE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER RITZ CRACKER COOKIES
There are so many good Southern recipes using the famous Ritz cracker! Well, here is one of my favorites - the choc covered Ritz cookie. My kids love these, and the variations are endless. Sprinkle with color appropriate candies/sprinkles to match any occasion such as Halloween or Christmas - add before the chocolate hardens. Ingredient amounts are only estimates.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
My great aunt Pat makes these cookies every year during the holidays. She always has them on hand for drop-in guests and puts them on the dessert buffet at our family Christmas Eve party. I like making multiple batches and storing them in holiday tins for gifts. Be careful, they're addictive! You might want to make an extra batch (or two).

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread a generous 1 teaspoon peanut butter onto half of the crackers and then top with the remaining crackers. Place on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until the peanut butter is firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted, 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds. Use 2 forks to dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate until completely coated. If the chocolate starts to stiffen, return it to the microwave. After dipping in chocolate, decorate with red or green sprinkles.
- Put the sandwich cookies back on the baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Use fresh Ritz crackers. Stale crackers will not hold together well and will make the cookies crumbly.
- Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Over-baking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to firm up.
Conclusion:
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover Ritz crackers and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike.
