Main Ingredients
- 48 Ritz crackers
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup marshmallow creme
- 1 pound (16 ounces) chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent the chocolate-coated stacks from sticking.
- Make the filling – In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly mix the creamy peanut butter and marshmallow creme until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble sandwich bases – Spread a small amount of the peanut butter and marshmallow mixture evenly onto 24 Ritz crackers.
- Create the stacks – Top each coated cracker with another cracker, gently pressing them together to form sandwich stacks.
- Dip in chocolate – Using a fork or dipping tool, completely coat each sandwich stack in the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Place on prepared sheet – Set the chocolate-covered stacks carefully onto the lined baking sheet.
- Add decorations – If desired, sprinkle holiday sprinkles or other toppings on top of the wet chocolate before it sets for a festive look.
- Set the chocolate – Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for faster setting until firm.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother filling; crunchy can be used but affects texture.
- Marshmallow creme adds sweetness and fluffiness, balancing the peanut butter.
- Dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate can be used depending on your preference.
- For easier dipping, temper the chocolate or melt slowly over a double boiler.
- Store finished stacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow the stacks to reach room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.
