Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 box Ritz crackers
- 1 jar marshmallow fluff
- 1 package Reese's peanut butter cups
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 box of Ritz crackers, 1 jar of marshmallow fluff, 1 package of Reese's peanut butter cups, and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Ensure you have a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Take out the Ritz crackers and lay them flat on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You will need two crackers for each finished piece.
- Using a spoon or a small spatula, spread a generous layer of marshmallow fluff on one Ritz cracker. Be sure to cover the cracker evenly, but do not overdo it to avoid spilling over the edges.
- Next, take a Reese's peanut butter cup and place it directly on top of the marshmallow fluff. Gently press down to ensure it adheres to the fluff.
- Take another Ritz cracker and place it on top of the Reese's, creating a sandwich. Press down lightly to secure the layers together. Repeat this process until you have assembled all 24 pieces.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes total.
- Once the chocolate is melted, take each Ritz marshmallow Reese's sandwich and dip it into the chocolate, making sure to coat it thoroughly. You can use a fork to help lift it out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-dipped sandwiches back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, you can sprinkle some crushed Ritz crackers or chopped peanuts on top of the melted chocolate for added texture and flavor.
- Once all sandwiches are dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- After the chocolate has hardened, your Chocolate Dipped Ritz Marshmallow Reese's are ready to be served. Enjoy your delicious treats!
Tips
- Chill Out: For easier handling, refrigerate your Reese's peanut butter cups for about 15 minutes before assembling. This helps them stay firm during the process.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use a microwave-safe bowl and melt chocolate in short 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
- Dipping Technique: Use a fork to dip and lift the sandwiches out of melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off for a clean, even coating.
- Flavor Boost: Experiment with toppings like crushed peanuts, sea salt, or drizzled caramel to add extra dimension to your treats.
- Storage Tip: Store these delightful bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days - if they last that long!
