This easy Ritz cracker cookie is a Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crunch cookie with a Caramel Drizzle. There is no baking required and you can make as little or as many cookies as you want! 

It's a super simple, no-bake, kid-friendly cookie recipe! And depending on the crackers you use - this could also be a gluten-free recipe. 

I have so many yummy Christmas cookie recipes. But sometimes you need an easy recipe to throw together for a quick party or something very simple that the kids can make. 

I love this recipe because you may already have all the ingredients in your home! Plus it's so customizable! It is just a basic recipe to get your creative juices going! 

 

   

Ritz Cracker Cookies

Makes 10-15 crunch crackers

Ritz crackers (20-30) - they do have so many different types of crackers - but I would stick to plain crackers for this recipe. 

1 cup of melting chocolate or chocolate chips  - you could use white, dark, or milk chocolate. Or grab some flavored chocolate chips like butterscotch or peanut butter chips to change up the flavors. 

1 tablespoon coconut oil 

Peanut butter - you can use crunchy or plain peanut butter. It would be good with almond or cashew butter too! Or if you are allergic use a nut-free butter. 

Caramel sauce is delicious but you could use chocolate or butterscotch sauce to change up the flavors. 

Flaked sea salt - this is optional but it's so yummy! I love the extra punch of the sea salt with the sweetness of the chocolate and the crunch of the crackers! 

 

 

 

Instructions: 

 

 

Spread peanut butter on 1 cracker then place another cracker on top to make the crunch 

 

 

 

 

Place in freezer to set - about 15 minutes 

 

Melt chocolate with coconut oil, stirring until smooth 

 

 

Dip each crunch in the chocolate to cover completely 

 

 

Place on a wax paper-lined plate 

 

 

Drizzle with caramel sauce  and then sprinkle with sea salt flakes

 

 

Place in freezer to set - about 15 minutes 

Serve and enjoy!
