Instructions
Step 1: Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Spread about 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter onto one Ritz cracker. Top with another cracker. Repeat until all crackers are used.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Combine chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
Step 3: Dip the Sandwiches
Dip each sandwich in the melted chocolate, coating fully. Let excess drip off before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Toppings & Chill
Sprinkle with sea salt or sprinkles (optional). Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Once hardened, enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Tips & Notes
- Adding oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly.

- Tap the fork on the bowl to remove excess chocolate for a neater finish.
Variations
- White Chocolate: Substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips.
- Nutella Filling: Replace peanut butter with Nutella.
