Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Treats Recipe

[@nikkiflippy007]

I loved these! Quick tip: Put a Ziploc bag in a cup and fold down the top, put the PB in it, seal out the air, and snip off the edge to make a piping bag. Just put a dollop on each cracker and smash it down gently with the cracker on top! Goes so much faster! We did Heath topping, some with Maldon sea salt flakes and a few with the white chocolate!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yep piping bags work great :)

[@joy7363]

Add marshmallow cream with the PB. A fluffernutter cookie sandwich covered in chocolate. Game changing!!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yummy!

A coworker brought these to work a couple years ago. So so good.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!!

[@byronchandler667]

Matt, those look so good! 😋😋😋 Me and my mom make them every Christmas time, especially with crushed peppermint on top of it.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks!! That is awesome! Yes crushed peppermint would be amazing.

I’m from central pa, we make these, especially the and Mennonite community. I’ve never heard add the crisco, but I’m going to do it when making these next time

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@-N0T-J0E_B-YT- You only need to add it if the chocolate isn't melting thin, I don't always add it, it just depends on what chocolate I use. :)

[@alexandriaevans9411]

2:14 I been making these for a long time now they are my absolute fav snack my whole fam loooove them too I always use white chocolate but next time imma try da chocolate 🤤

You are welcome!!

[@jeangemmel7895]

These look really nice Matt. I don't like peanut butter so i put a Rolo between my Ritz crackers and bung them in a hot oven for about 3/4 minutes until Rolo is squidgy and skooshy. When they cool i dip them in the chocolate. I love the combination of the salt the crunch the sweet and the squidgy skooshiness xx Thank you for all your lovely recipes and making them so easy to follow, we have all learned a lot from you Matt. Take care and stay warm xx Jean from Scotland.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thank you, Jean!! Yes, so many fun combinations you can try. The Rolo option will be awesome. It will turn out almost like a Twix, or Millionaire shortbread haha. Strawberry jelly/jam would be great too The combination of salty, crunchy, and sweet is so good and addicting! You are so very welcome. So happy you enjoy the videos and keep watching them. I always appreciate your comments. :)

[@jeangemmel7895]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt You and I obviously have the same kind of sense of humour :) Braveheart.....my goodness, good grief, William Wallace with an American accent was diabolical, we do have Scottish actors, not very good ones, but no, it had to me an American. We are still trying to live that film down Matt xx Jean from 🦄 :)

@@jeangemmel7895 hahaha I know right? Australian born, turned American, playing a Scottish hero. haha crazy Hollywood! Umm Sean Connery was a great Scottish actor!

[@Madalyssa22]

How long do these keep once made? Do you keep them on the counter? Can they be frozen in advance once assembled?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

If you use real chocolate you will need to temper the chocolate if you want to leave them out on the counter in an airtight container otherwise store them in the fridge or use a chocolate like the "candy melts" which don't need to be tempered. Yes they can be frozen as well.

[@Trick4951]

Will they set out on the counter or does it have to go in fridge? I want to make these ahead but dont want to refridgerate if i dont have to.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

If you want to set them at room temperature I recommend using the candy melts for the chocolate, otherwise if you use normal chocolate you will want to temper the chocolate first before dipping. But yes they can definitely sit out at room temp, in a covered container or just plastic wrap over them on a plate.

[@maxduong4537]

This is a perfect project to get children to do. But remember to be aware if they have a peanut allergy because of the peanut butter you use. Kids would have fun helping you out on this if you invite them to do this with you. They may eat a few Ritz crackers along the way or a few chocolate chips or pieces of almond bark. Such a fun project for them to do. This summer might be a perfect time for them to do this project to celebrate Christmas in July.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes a fun project for kids

[@ringwormsherm]

my aunt makes these for the holidays and i could eat a bucket

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

You are giving me so many recipes! Wonder if these will taste good with caremel?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome! Yes they will be amazing with Caramel. And will taste very similar to a TWIX or Millionaire shortbread. Like super yummy. One person mentioned used a Rolo in the center. Just place the Rolo where the peanut butter is. Then pop it in the oven for about 3 to 5 minutes so the Rolos get soft. Then place the top cracker on and proceed from there. :)

You used dark and milk chocolate?

You can use either or a combination of each. I used a type of chocolate called "almond bark" with milk chocolate chips.

I tried to make these but my chocolate didn't melt well 😭

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

how did you melt the chocolate and what chocolate did you use?

[@_Clipper_]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt it was some compound chocolate. I wanted a bit softer bite of chocolate so I added some 5 or 10ml of milk before the chocolate melted. I've realised the mistake now after googling. I didn't know milk could do that.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Glad you figured it out. Use a little bit of oil to thin out the chocolate or shortening, just like 1 to 2 tsp. @@_Clipper_

[@lorrainewilson6278]

Write down what the chocolates to buy at the stores. Thank you.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

I said in the video it doesn't matter what chocolate you use. :) Use whatever chocolate that you want. If you like semi-sweet chocolate chips use those. If you like Milk chocolate Hershey bars, use that. If you like the yellow candy melts, use them.

[@sunshyne8539]

This video showed up in my feed after I watched "Here's Why Ritz Crackers Are Banned In Other Countries"

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Interesting. Yeah European countries don't like trans fats, specifically partially hydrogenated oils. The interesting thing is the actual label on the box of Ritz crackers shows Trans Fat as 0g. At least the box in the States shows that. The one in Canada has it at 0.1g. Seems like they could get sued for misrepresenting something on the label. For me personally, I don't worry about that stuff, it's not like I eat them every day, and they sure are tasty! haha

[@nicerice8293]
