Ingredients

  • 11 ounce package of Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers approximately 48 sandwich crackers
  • 12 ounces white almond bark
  • 12 ounces chocolate almond bark
  • 7.6 ounce package or Reeses Mini Cups unwrapped
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  • In separate microwave safe bowls, melt the white almond bark and chocolate almond bark according to the package melting directions: 1 minute at full power, stir and then 30 seconds more until you have reached the desired melt consistency. Make sure not to overcook the bark or it will harden and clump.
  • Working in small batches, coat a few ritz peanut butter crackers at a time (2-3) and lift them out of the chocolate using a fork. Drain the excess chocolate back into the bowl then carefully transfer them to a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Be sure not to move them around too much on the paper so the chocolate doesn’t spread.
  • Add the sprinkles to the coated ritz crackers before they harden then dip the wide ends of the Reese's minis cups lightly into the melted chocolate bark and stick one on the top of each ritz cracker to create a Christmas ornament design.
  • Once you have coated and decorated each ritz cracker, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to fully harden.. Once they are set, you can remove them from the refrigerator and set them on a platter or in a container to serve from.

Notes

Storage - These can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Any longer than that and the crackers under the chocolate start to get a bit soft.
