Ingredients

32 ritz crackers 1 sleeve from a regular-sized box
½ cup creamy peanut butter 140g
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips 300g
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
Lay out all the crackers that you intend to use on the prepared sheet pans. I set half facing up and the other half facing down since you will only fill half.
Scoop peanut butter onto half of the crackers. Use about 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons per cracker. Gently press another cracker on top of the peanut butter to make the sandwiches. You will have 16 sandwiches.
If the peanut butter is a little gooey right now, pop the sheet pan into the freezer for that to firm up for 10-15 minutes. If the peanut butter is too runny, it runs the risk of spilling out of the cookies.
Melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in the microwave in a heat-safe bowl. Do this in 30-second increments until the chocolate is completely melted.
Dip the peanut butter sandwiches into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to dunk and flip the sandwiches until completely coated.
When you lift the cookies out of the chocolate, tap on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then transfer to the prepared sheet pan.
Continue the process for all the cookies until they have all been coated.
Decorate. Add sprinkles or flaky sea salt to the tops of the cookies. You can also transfer the rest of the melted chocolate into a piping bag or plastic baggie and drizzle it onto the cookies for a fancy look.
Let the chocolate set for 30-45 minutes before transferring to an airtight container! Enjoy!

Notes

How to store: Once the chocolate is set, transfer to an airtight food storage container for up to 2 weeks. Keep in the fridge so that the chocolate does not melt.
