No Bake Cookies
These cookies are the EASIEST semi-homemade treats to keep stashed for your next sweet craving. I love having a variety, and while these are simple, they are delicious.
What I love about these cookies is that you can decorate them in various ways for any holiday or occasion. Use different colors, add sprinkles, and draw on them as you wish.
- Add trees for Christmas
- Add hearts for Valentine’s Day
- Make them pink and blue for Baby Showers
- Add red, white, and blue for the 4th of July
- Decorate them with pumpkins for the fall
Ingredients Needed
The ingredient list is super short! Perfect recipe to make with your kiddos. 😀
- Ritz Crackers – You’ll need one sleeve of crackers, or approximately 30 crackers – two for each cookie.
- Peanut Butter – I used creamy peanut butter, but you could use crunchy as well.
- Melting Chocolate – I prefer to use the Ghirardelli brand as it melts really well.
- Food Coloring & Sprinkles – Optional, but you could add food coloring to the white chocolate and/or shake some sprinkles on top for a more festive look.
How to make Ritz Cracker Cookies:
Step 1
Lay 15 crackers out on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Spread some peanut butter on each one.
Step 3
Top with another cracker.
Step 4
Add white chocolate. Melt the white chocolate. Dip each cracker cookie in the chocolate and lay back on the baking sheet.
Step 5
Freeze (or refrigerate) until hardened.
Step 6
Add the dark chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate. Dip the other side of the cracker cookie in the chocolate and lay back on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Freeze (or refrigerate) again until hardened.
Pro-Tip: Double this recipe because they freeze well, and you’ll be glad to have a stash handy for visitors.
Storing Tips
Depending on the time of year and how humid your house is, storing these can be done in two ways.
- If it’s super cold out, and your house is fairly cool, you can store these on your countertop in an airtight container.
- If it’s warm out, or your house is very humid, you should store these in the refrigerator or freezer.
