Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
Gather all your ingredients for the No-Bake Ritz Cracker Cookies, including Ritz crackers, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Lay out parchment paper on a baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, about 1 to 1.5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix equal parts of melted chocolate and peanut butter until creamy.
Spread the peanut butter and chocolate mixture on a Ritz cracker, top with another cracker to make a sandwich, and repeat.
Chill the assembled cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm.
Melt remaining chocolate and drizzle over each cookie; sprinkle with festive toppings if desired.
Package the cookies in a festive container or wrap for gifting.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate and fresh peanut butter for the best flavor. Proper chilling ensures the cookies maintain their shape. Parchment paper makes cleanup easier.
