How do you prepare Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz cracker cookies using just three ingredients! Simple, no baking sweet and salty recipe that is perfect for holidays and parties.
Ritz cookies are another of our most loved treats in the festive season and I’ve been making them for many years. My family isn’t able to go to Christmas without baking them or rice crunchy peanut butter balls and they’re great for Valentine’s Day and Easter candies too.
As a child my mom would make Ritz Cracker cookies as well as peanut butter balls at Christmas time every year.
I can remember storing our stairwells of our former farmhouse since there was no heat , so they’d be kept cool and comfortable there. My bedroom was situated at the top of the staircase, and naturally, I’d indulge myself when I went up as I walked to my bedroom.
The chocolate Ritz crackers are so simple to make! There’s a minimum of three ingredients to make these, unless you wish to think up some creative ways to add additional ingredients. They’re tasty as they are.
If you take a moment to think about it, what’s better than peanut butter and chocolate? For a salty and sweet dessert, they’re the most perfect combination of both.
