Ritz Cracker Cookies
Ritz Cracker Cookies are a timeless, effortless, crazy delicious sweet and salty treat that are a must for tailgating, birthday parties, cookie exchanges, and holidays.
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup cookie butter (see note)
- 60 Ritz crackers (2 sleeves)
- 3 cups chocolate candy melts
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread a generous teaspoon (or more!) of nut butter onto 40 of the crackers; sandwich those together with nut butter side facing up. Then top with the final 20 plain crackers, to form a cookie stack.
- Melt the candy melts according to package directions until melted and smooth.
- Place formed cookie stacks on a fork and dip in the melted chocolate; using a spoon to poor chocolate over the tops. Gently tap fork on the edge of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Transfer back to the prepared baking sheet and decorate with sprinkles or candies of your choice.
- Place baking sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes to harden.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
Use different fillings, such as peanut butter, almond butter, Nutella, marshmallow fluff, or Biscoff cookie butter (our favorite!) NOTE: because almond butter, cashew butter, and sunflower butter all have a looser consistency than peanut butter or cookie butter, I would recommend placing in the refrigerator after step #2 for about 25 minutes, before dipping them in the chocolate. This will help them firm up a bit.
Have fun with the candy melts colors to represent a school, sports team, or a gender reveal baby shower.
Make the stacks shorter by using only 2 crackers, instead of the 3 (which will also result in a total of 30 cookies, instead of 20.)
Vary the toppings. Sprinkles, crushed up pretzels, or colorful sanding sugar would all be fun!
