Servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (such as Jif or Skippy)
  • 60 Ritz crackers
  • 12 oz. Wilton red candy melts
  • 12 oz. Wilton vanilla candy melts (or Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers)
  • sprinkles red, green, and white holiday sprinkles
  • 15 Rolo candies unwrapped
  • 15 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups unwrapped

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread 2 teaspoons of peanut butter onto 30 of the crackers; sandwich those together with the remaining 30 crackers.
  • Melt the red candy melts according to package directions until melted and smooth.
  • Place formed cookie stacks on a fork and dip in the red melted chocolate to coat; gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Transfer back to the prepared baking sheet and allow to set.
  • Using the leftover melted chocolate, attach a Rolo and mini Reese’s peanut butter cups to the tops of the ornaments. Let set.
  • Melt the white vanilla candy melts according to package directions. Transfer to a piping bag (or plastic bag and snip off a corner.) Drizzle over the red cookies. Top with some holiday sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  • Allow to fully harden at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the fridge to set faster (about 10 to 15 minutes.)
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use almond butter, cookie butter, or SunButter for dietary needs. Be sure the nut butter isn't too oily, or the cookies won't hold.
  • Swap Rolos and Reese’s for Lindt truffles, mini Kisses, or M&M's, or whatever you prefer.
  • Red candy melts can be swapped with any holiday color.
