Holiday time is officially here! Okay, so in theory the holidays are great, but really they’re stressful and expensive. Don’t get me wrong, I still love holiday time, but it is what it is. Something I like doing to alleviate some holiday stress is give homemade food items as gifts..particularly sweets and baked goods. This is one of those things I’m definitely going to make. I’m going to package them up in really cute Martha Stewart holiday craft gift boxes and give them away as small tasty gifts. I had chocolate covered Ritz crackers for the first time last year. Oh man, after I ate my first one I was on a mission to hoard boxes of this “limited edition” stuff for the next month…. I thought they were that good. This year I thought I’d make my own. I thought the only way they could get better was adding peanut butter. Turns out, I was right. They’re so good…really I promise. Please make these for loved ones this year, they’ll love you even more for it! Plus, they’re super simple to make. Enjoy!

I love such recipes that you can throw together with no work at all!
Will be trying them soon!
Well, that animated gif is just the definition of fun. And I think at our party we need to make these. Cos dhey’re cute.
I remember making these as a child with my mom, except we used almond bark instead of milk chocolate. It was my job to spread the pb while my mom dipped them into white chocolate. It was also my job to eat the chocolate drizzles that fell on the wax paper. :)
I was checking my last FG submission and it’s right next to these of yours! And omg they look SO GOOD! This is totally me. Right here. Love.it.
I love these things! It’s one of my families traditional holiday chocolate covered treats we make each year before the holidays.
first it was the chocolate covered potato chips. Now it’s these…
I cannot wait to see what is next on the downward spiral of self control ;)
LOVE the animated photo! Seriously, LOVE! I could watch it all day :-D
we love these at our house. for some reason we’ve made them a christmas-y treat.
Oh helloooooo! Those look dangerously delicious. I’m in.
i make these cookies every single year except with white chocolate. they are embarrassingly easy but soooo freakin delicious! they never last more than a few minutes. i’ll have to give them a try with regular chocolate. love that motion picture- adorable!
That gif is adorable. I need more animated/ personified food in my life. Go little ritz cracker sandwiches, go!
someone made these for me with wheat thins recently… YUM
These are totally healthy. Crackers full of… protein. Yes.
Sure. And tons of vitamins too! This sounds like a yummy way to get all my nutritional needs.
100% making these — something even I could put together. Thank you!
Delicious! When I was little I used to put peanut putter and jelly between ritz but peanut butter inside and chocolate outside is much less messy. When you bite into my version filling squeezes out from all sides, when your 8 it works when your 22, not so much. Thanks for the big kid version… perfect party eats!
LOVE this idea! Totally going to try it in the near future. So simple and pretty at the same time. Have a lovely day!
I make these every year! The best are if you add a few drops of peppermint oil to the chocolate – they taste like thin mints! And my grandma would always make the peanut butter ones with white chocolate…yum.
There’s a praline shop here in New Orleans that sells these. Now I don’t have to feel guilty spending all my money there. This is so deliciously dangerous! THANK YOU.
Yum! And I totally hear you about the stressfulness of the holiday season. Love the gif too!
The simpler the better! How freaking cute are these?!
That’s one hot way to combine three of my favorite things from childhood into a single mean snack!
Oh my goodness , do these EVER sound and look amazing! I actually have some Ritz crackers leftover from Thanksgiving, so these may be my afternoon.
They are good – I ate my first one last week. They are so rich, it’s difficult to eat more than one.
These bring back great memories! I had a friend that use to make these and I never did get the recipe. They are DELICIOUS and I can’t wait to make them.
Yum! I love these sandwiches.
OMG Easy making them right now
yum!! these look amazing and simple! great for a party!
