Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 12 Reese Cup Thins (classic Reese cups are too big for this recipe)
Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz. high quality melting chocolate (approximately 2 cups)
Decoration
- Holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Lay out 24 Ritz crackers flat on a baking sheet or parchment paper. Place one Reese Cup Thin on 12 of the crackers, then top each with the remaining crackers to create a sandwich.
- Melt the Chocolate: Using a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melt the 12 oz. of high-quality melting chocolate until smooth and fully liquid, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each Ritz sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Decorate: Place the chocolate-coated cookies on parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle holiday sprinkles on top to decorate.
- Set the Cookies: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 15-20 minutes until the coating hardens completely.
Notes
- You can swap Reese Cup Thins with mini peanut butter cups if desired, but the recipe is optimized for the thinner cups to keep the cookie size manageable.
- Use high-quality melting chocolate for a smoother and shinier coating.
- To speed up setting, refrigerate the coated cookies but bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigeration for up to a week.
