Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
Simple christmas candies are always a must around my house. I like whipping up special treats for the hub and kiddos during the holiday time. I also like having easy homemade treats to gift to family and friends. These Ritz Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers are always a hit.
I keep lots of melting chocolates in the pantry during the holidays. The Kroger melting chocolate trays are my favorite because they are so quick, require no effort, and I can toss them in the trash when we are done dipping. I always have peanut butter and crackers, they are a staple at our house too.
For such a simple treat, these little guys pack some amazing flavor. You have sweet and salty at the same time. I toss on some holiday sprinkles and they become such a cute Christmas candy.
I can whip up a batch so quick. When I am gifting them, I just place some parchment paper or tissue in an inexpensive tin I purchase from the Dollar Store and toss them in. I love that the gift is homemade and is so inexpensive.
All that is needed to make these tasty treats is some Ritz crackers, peanut butter, and some melting chocolates. Sandwich some peanut butter in between two crackers, dip, and sprinkle with some festive sprinkles. So EASY!

My mom always uses a double boiler for this recipe, then a toothpick to dip each individual one. IT TAKES FOREVER! I should know because I had that task this year. There HAS to be a faster way to make the 3 to 4 dozen we make. any thoughts/suggestions?
LOL! Dipping is always the tedious part, right? I think that is why I love those handy chocolate melting trays. I usually use a fork. I dip then flip and whip off the extra chocolate on the side of the tray. I can do a few, take a break and then reheat the chocolate in the microwave. You are correct, wouldn’t it be nice to have a simpler way of making lots of chocolate-covered candy. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season and Merry Christmas!
I love these with white chocolate too! So delicious. #HomeMattersParty
