How to Make the Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Sandwiches

Step 1:  Start with two Ritz Crackers.
Step 2: Spread a spoonful of peanut butter on one of the crackers. We think cream peanut butter works best.  We like these cookies because they are a yummy combination of sweet and savory but if you want something a little sweeter you could make a Peanut Butter filling and use that instead. We have a yummy recipe in our Peanut Butter Pretzel Bite post that you can use. 
Step 3: Use the second cracker to make a sandwich and set it aside.  Make 24 Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker sandwiches.

How to Melt the Chocolate

Step 4: Pour the chocolate melting wafers (you can also use Chocolate Chips) into a shallow bowl.
Step 5: Melt the chocolate in the microwave.  Start at 20 seconds. Take the bowl out and give the chocolate a stir.  Continue to microwave at 10-second intervals until the chocolate is melted.
Step 6: The chocolate needs to be in a pourable consistency.

How to Dip the Cookies in Chocolate

Step 8: Use a spoon to cover the top and the sides of the cracker with chocolate.
Step 9: Use a fork to lift the cookie out of the chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip into the bowl. 
Step 10: Place the chocolate-covered cookie on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet to harden.

Decorating Ideas
