Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 48 Ritz crackers or buttery golden round crackers
Filling
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
Coating and Garnish
- 1 pound chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted for dipping
- Holiday sprinkles (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Arrange Crackers: Lay 24 crackers spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet and set aside for filling.
- Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter with marshmallow creme, stirring until smooth and fully blended.
- Spread Filling: Evenly spread a thin, but not paper-thin, layer of the peanut butter and marshmallow mixture onto each of the 24 crackers on the baking sheet.
- Form Stacks: Top each filled cracker with one of the remaining 24 crackers to create sandwich-like stacks; set them aside on the baking sheet.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat on high power in 15- to 30-second intervals, stirring after each burst, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Stacks: Using one or two forks, dip each peanut butter stack into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped stacks back onto the lined baking sheet.
- Add Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle holiday sprinkles on top to add a festive touch and extra texture.
- Chill: Refrigerate or freeze the baking sheet with the chocolate-dipped stacks until the chocolate hardens, then they are ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for best flavor; semi-sweet or milk chocolate both work well.
- Do not overheat chocolate to prevent burning; stir frequently during melting.
- For easier dipping, use a fork or chocolate dipping tool to avoid messy hands.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different twist.
- Store leftover stacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
