Ingredients
24 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, unwrapped
48 Ritz crackers (24 pairs)
12 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (or melting wafers)
1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
Holiday sprinkles or flaky sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
1. Lay 24 Ritz crackers flat side up on a tray. Place a mini Reese’s cup on each, then top with another cracker to form a sandwich.
2. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
3. Dip each sandwich into melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Coat fully and tap off excess.
4. Place dipped cookies on parchment paper or silicone mat. Immediately top with sprinkles or sea salt before chocolate sets.
5. Let sit at room temp or chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes until firm.
6. Store in airtight container at room temp for 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
1. For a smoother coating, use coconut oil or shortening when melting chocolate.
2. Always add sprinkles or salt while chocolate is wet so they stick.
3. For variety, try filling with mini caramel cups or peppermint patties instead of Reese’s.
