Ritz Cookies

"These things have been made by my family since before I can remember. Been made by my sibs and I since we were under age 4. Very good family tradition that we've made almost every year for Christmas and sometimes other holidays. Oh, one thing, you CAN NOT sub the generic excuses for Ritz crackers.....they will not be as crunchy, buttery, or good!"

  1. This was awesome and easy. I didn't have any bark so I melted a bag of Hersey's milk chocolate chips and dipped into it. I stuck the Ritz cookie in the freezer to make sure it set properly and it was PERFECT! Thanks for sharing elizagirl!
     
  2. Perfect! I found this recipe in Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook. She calls it Jack Griffin's Christmas Cookies and says there are no exact amounts--just get a jar of peanut butter, a box of Ritz crackers, a bag of chocolate chips, and the candies of your choice to top (i.e., holiday sprinkles at Christmas or Reese's Pieces at Halloween). She says to store them in the refrigerator. I dipped both sides of the Ritz cracker in peanut butter and stuck them together. This is so easy to make and with ingredients you have on hand that it's a slightly dangerous recipe. Yum! Thanks for posting elizagirl!

  1. These things are so tasty and easy to make! I used nutella instead of peanut butter for one batch for a change and they tasted great as well. Excellent recipe to use up the leftover holiday crackers from parties.
