Description
Caramel Ritz Cracker Christmas Cookies are a delightful holiday treat that combines the sweetness of caramel and white chocolate with the crunchiness of Ritz crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (or melted caramel candies)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Red, white, and green festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Caramel-Filled Sandwiches: Place a dollop of caramel sauce on half of the Ritz crackers, then top each with a second cracker to create a “sandwich.”
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Cookies in White Chocolate: Dip each caramel-filled Ritz cracker sandwich in the melted white chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Use a fork to help drip off excess chocolate.
- Decorate with Sprinkles: While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the red, white, and green festive sprinkles over each cookie.
- Let the Cookies Set: Allow the cookies to set completely at room temperature, or refrigerate them briefly until firm.
Notes
- For a quicker option, store-bought caramel sauce can be used.
- Ensure the white chocolate is melted properly for a smooth coating.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
