Ingredients
Scale
Stack Ingredients
- 48 Ritz crackers
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup marshmallow creme
Coating and Decoration
- 1 pound (16 ounces) chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside to prevent the chocolate from sticking during setting.
- Mix filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the creamy peanut butter and marshmallow creme until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble sandwiches: Spread a small amount of the peanut butter and marshmallow mixture onto 24 Ritz crackers.
- Form stacks: Place another cracker on top of each spread cracker, gently pressing to form sandwich stacks.
- Dip in chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, fully coat each sandwich in the melted chocolate, ensuring they are covered evenly.
- Place on sheet: Transfer the chocolate-coated stacks onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Add sprinkles (optional): While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle holiday sprinkles on top to add color and festive appeal.
- Set chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for faster setting before serving.
Notes
- If you want a firmer texture, refrigerate the stacks until chocolate is fully set.
- Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
- You can substitute Ritz crackers with any buttery, flaky cracker for a different taste.
- Store leftover stacks in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to one week.
