A quick and irresistible no-bake treat combining crunchy Cheez-It crackers, creamy peanut butter, and rich melted chocolate. Optional caramel drizzle and toppings make it easy to customize for a sweet-and-salty snack everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cheez-It crackers (regular or Grooves)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Optional: chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, pecans)
- Optional: sea salt flakes
- Optional: caramel drizzle
Instructions
- -Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one Cheez-It cracker and top with another to create a mini sandwich. Repeat until all crackers are used.-Melt the chocolate: Place chocolate chips (and optional coconut oil) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth.-Dip the sandwiches: Using a fork, dip each peanut butter sandwich into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork gently against the bowl to remove excess chocolate.-Add toppings: Place dipped sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle chopped nuts, sea salt, or drizzle caramel on top as desired.-Set: Refrigerate or let sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set (about 15–30 minutes).-Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool place.
Notes
- Customize the Crunch: Use Cheez-It Grooves for a bolder, crispier bite, or try Extra Toasty Cheez-Its for a deeper roasted flavor.
- Nutty Add-Ins: Sprinkle chopped almonds, peanuts, or pecans on top of the chocolate for added texture and flavor.
- Flavor Boost: Add a light caramel drizzle for a sweet finish, or a pinch of sea salt for contrast.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days—great for snacks or gifting.
- Chocolate Tip: Stir chocolate between each microwave interval to prevent burning and ensure a smooth melt.
