Scale
Crackers
- 16 Ritz crackers
Candy
- 8 unwrapped Reese’s thin peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for assembling the treats.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Assemble the first layer: Place one Ritz cracker on the baking sheet, then top it with a thin Reese’s peanut butter cup.
- Warm the candy: Bake the cracker and peanut butter cup combination in the preheated oven for 90 seconds. Watch closely; the peanut butter cup should look wet on top but not fully melted.
- Add the top cracker: Remove from the oven and gently place another Ritz cracker on top of the peanut butter cup to form a sandwich.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cracker sandwiches for about 15 minutes or until firm and set.
Notes
- Do not overbake; the peanut butter cups should soften but not melt to maintain structure.
- Using thin peanut butter cups is essential for proper melting and sandwiching.
- Chilling is important to help the peanut butter cups firm up for easier handling and eating.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick snack or a kid-friendly dessert.
