Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 32 Ritz crackers

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter and sifted powdered sugar. Whisk or stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. It should be thick but spreadable.
  • Lay out 32 Ritz crackers on a clean surface, flat side down. Spread a small amount of the peanut butter mixture onto half of the crackers, leaving a little space around the edges.
  • Top each filled cracker with another cracker to form a sandwich. Gently press together so they stick. Place the peanut butter cracker sandwiches onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill the sandwiches for about 30 minutes, until the filling is firm.
  • While the sandwiches chill, place the milk chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler). Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Remove the chilled cracker sandwiches from the freezer. Using a small pair of tongs, a fork, or tweezers, dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, turning to coat it completely.
  • Let any excess chocolate drip off, gently shaking or tapping on the side of the bowl, then place the coated sandwich back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat with the remaining sandwiches until all are coated in chocolate.
  • Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set and dry to the touch, about 1 hour. You can place the tray in the refrigerator to speed up the setting time if desired.
  • Once the chocolate is set, carefully peel the cookies off the parchment. Serve and enjoy.
