These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cracker Cookies check all the boxes — easy (no bake), delicious, and so festive!
My mom has made these forever for any time of year. Mostly she uses chocolate almond bark — but this time of year, I like to use the vanilla (white) almond bark and Christmas sprinkles to create a little holiday magic.
(Don’t like white chocolate? I’m not listening to you. LOL)
I’m kidding. Sort of.
If you really don’t like white chocolate, you will get the same lovely sweet and salty flavors using chocolate almond bark.
My family prefers Townhouse crackers for this recipe but you can easily substitute Ritz crackers. In fact, a blogger I follow regularly, A Farmgirl’s Dabbles, makes hers with Ritz and some sea salt flakes sprinkled on top – yum! (She also does a mix of chocolate almond bark and semisweet chocolate chips.)
I should also mention my mom prefers chunky peanut butter, which I never noticed until I was 2020-years-old! When I make my version, I use creamy peanut butter because that’s all I have on hand. But you do you – either works!
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cracker Cookies
Equipment
- 2 Cookie sheets or jelly roll pans
- Wax or parchment paper
- Knife and two forks
Ingredients
- 2 rolls Townhouse Crackers
- 1/2 cup Peanut butter creamy or chunky
- 20 ounces White (vanilla flavored) almond bark
- Various sprinkles
Instructions
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment or wax paper.
- With a knife, spread a dollop of peanut butter on a Townhouse cracker and cover with the 2nd cracker. Place on the cookie sheet about an inch apart. Repeat until all your sandwich cookies are filled.
- Put the vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in increments of 30 seconds, stirring after each time, until the almond bark is just melted. Watch this carefully so you don't scorch the almond bark.
- Drop a cookie in the melted almond bark with your two forks and swirl it around to cover it completely. Lift out of the almond bark mixture and tap the side of the bowl with your fork to remove excess almond bark. Carefully set the dipped cookie back on the cookie sheet. (You may want to use a toothpick to help you get the cookie smoothly off the fork.)
- Add any sprinkles before the almond bark mixture sets.
- Continue until all cookies have been dipped. (If your almond bark mixture hardens, just heat it up a little again.
When we worked in the same office, I always appreciated the days you shared your baking treats with co-workers – this recipe reminds me of how much I miss that! On the other hand, the recipe looks easy enough for me to make! I’ll let you know.
Hi Steve – those were good times! I loved baking treats and bringing them to share. 🙂 Let me know how the recipe goes for you!!
Merry Christmas!
