Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers Dipped In White Chocolate Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 60 Ritz crackers
- 1½ cups of creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup of powdered sugar
- 2½ cups of white chocolate chips
Substitutions And Additions
PEANUT BUTTER: This recipe uses creamy standard peanut butter (Skippy or Jif). Using an all-natural peanut butter may require more powdered sugar and/or a longer chill time in the fridge/freezer.
You want the peanut butter firmed up really well before you start dipping, or the peanut butter will begin oozing out into the white chocolate coating.
RITZ CRACKERS: If you don’t have Ritz crackers, you could use Keebler Club crackers or saltine crackers instead.
CHOCOLATE: You could also make these chocolate peanut butter Ritz cookies using a different type of chocolate, including dark chocolate, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate chips.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
These white chocolate peanut butter Ritz crackers are so yummy and freeze so well. They would be perfect for giving as gifts, as part of a cookie exchange, or to add to a holiday cookie tray. Make a double batch and tuck some away in the freezer for later.
STEP ONE: Line a full or half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
STEP TWO: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and the powdered sugar until smooth.
STEP THREE: Evenly space 30 Ritz crackers face down. This will be the cookie’s “bottom”.
STEP FOUR: Spoon 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into the center of the cracker. Do not spread the peanut butter to the edges.
STEP FIVE: Place the “top” cracker face up. Gently press the cracker down just until the peanut butter filling is close to the edge of the crackers but not dripping over the edge.
STEP SIX: Refrigerate the cookies on the baking sheet for 30-45 minutes.
PRO TIP:
Refrigerating helps to firm up the peanut butter. If you’re in a hurry, five minutes in the freezer will do the trick.
STEP SEVEN: In a medium-sized heat-proof bowl, combine 2 cups of white chocolate chips.
STEP EIGHT: In the microwave, heat the chocolate chips for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval, until the 2 cups of chips are melted.
STEP NINE: Add the remaining ½ cup of white chocolate chips, and stir until the chocolate is smooth.
PRO TIP:
The reason for melting 2 cups of the chips and then adding the remaining ½ cup of chips is a method to help the white chocolate set harder and last longer without discoloration.
It is similar to how we would temper chocolate but without the fuss of a candy thermometer and precise heating/cooling.
STEP TEN: Remove the cookies from the refrigerator.
STEP ELEVEN: Place 1 cookie at a time in the melted chocolate. Flip the cookie over with a dinner fork or chocolate dipping tool until it is well coated.
Slide the fork completely under the cookie and gently tap the fork against the rim or the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate.
PRO TIP:
Reheat the white chocolate in 15-30 second intervals as needed if the chocolate starts to harden or becomes too thick while dipping the cookies.
STEP TWELVE: Place the dipped cookie back onto the parchment paper.
STEP THIRTEEN: Return the sheet pan of dipped cookies to the refrigerator. Chill for 30 minutes to help set the chocolate. Store in an airtight container.
