Ingredients:
- 48 Ritz Crackers (approximately 160g)
- 0.5 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (125g)
- 0.5 cup Confectioners' Sugar (60g)
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (340g)
- 1 tbsp Refined Coconut Oil (15g)
- 0.25 tsp Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions:
- Sift the sugar. Place 0.5 cup confectioners' sugar into a bowl to remove any clumps. Note: Lumps in the filling will create air pockets that cause crackers to break.
- Mix the filling. Combine the peanut butter, sugar, and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture forms a smooth, pliable paste.
- Portion the centers. Scoop 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture onto the center of 24 Ritz crackers.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Top with the remaining 24 crackers, pressing gently until the filling reaches the very edges.
- Flash chill. Place the sandwiches in the freezer for 15 minutes. Note: This prevents the crackers from sliding around during the dipping process.
- Melt the coating. Microwave 12 oz chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil in 30 second intervals until glossy and completely liquid.
- Submerge the cookies. Drop one chilled sandwich into the chocolate, flip once, and lift with a fork.
- Drain the excess. Tap the fork against the side of the bowl 10 times until the chocolate stops dripping and looks smooth.
- Set the cookies. Place on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt until the chocolate begins to lose its shine.
- Final firm up. Let the cookies sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10 minutes to fully set the shell.
