Ingredients

  • 60 Ritz crackers 2 sleeves
  • 1 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
  • 8 oz. chocolate almond bark
  • sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Line a baking pan with wax paper and set aside.
  • In medium-sized mixing bowl mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and combined.
  • Place 30 of the Ritz crackers face down on the wax paper. Put a dollop (about a tablespoon) of peanut butter mixture in the middle of each cracker. Do not spread it out. Place a second cracker on top of the peanut butter mixture and gently press to secure like a sandwich so the peanut butter comes to the edge. You can wipe excess peanut butter of with a clean finger or the side of a spoon.
  • Refrigerate sandwiches for about 20 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before the sandwich cookies are due to come out of the refrigerator, melt the chocolate.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark and chocolate chips in 30 second intervals until smooth. Stir in between each interval. Be careful to NOT overcook.
  • Take a cookie and place it into the melted chocolate, flipping it with a fork so it’s completely covered in chocolate. Using a second fork if necessary, remove the chocolate-covered cookie and tap any excess chocolate off. Place it back on the wax paper and repeat with the remaining cookies.
  • If you are going to add sprinkles, sprinkle after each cookie comes out from the chocolate so the sprinkles will stick to the wet chocolate.
  • Once all cookies are covered, return to refrigerator for 20 minutes to set the chocolate. Stor in an air tight container.
