Scale
Ingredients
- 24 Ritz Crackers
- 12 Reese’s Thins (peanut butter cups, thin version)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for melting the chocolate slightly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Arrange Crackers: Place 12 Ritz crackers face up evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Reese’s Thins: Put one Reese’s Thin on top of each Ritz cracker, centering them carefully.
- Warm the Chocolate: Bake in the preheated oven for 90 seconds, just until the chocolate on Reese’s Thins starts to soften but not melt completely.
- Form Sandwiches: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press another Ritz cracker on top of each softened Reese’s Thin to create a sandwich.
- Chill: Transfer the sandwich bites to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes or until set, allowing the chocolate to firm up and the sandwiches to hold together.
- Serve: Enjoy these bites chilled or at room temperature as a sweet and salty snack.
Notes
- Do not overbake; just soften the chocolate slightly for optimal texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Chilling helps the sandwiches hold together better and enhances the flavor contrast.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For variations, try different flavored peanut butter cups or crackers.
