Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer a jelly roll pan with a single layer of Keebler Club crackers.
- Mix together brown sugar, white sugar, margarine, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs.
- Boil the mixture for 6 to 7 minutes, then pour half of it over the crackers in the pan.
- Add another layer of crackers over the first layer and pour the remaining mixture over them.
- Allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Melt together peanut butter and milk chocolate chips until smooth.
- Pour the melted peanut butter and chocolate mixture over the cooled layers.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, then cut into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed vanilla wafers or add chopped nuts for added texture. Be sure to stir the sugar mixture constantly to prevent burning, and let it cool completely before adding the chocolate layer for best results. If you prefer a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
Serving Suggestions
These Keebler Cracker Cookies are perfect as a sweet treat for gatherings or as an after-school snack. Serve them alongside a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter, especially when paired with other American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Keebler Cracker Cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To maintain their texture, avoid stacking them too tightly. If you want to enjoy them warm, microwave individual squares for about 10 seconds to slightly soften the chocolate topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cracker?
Yes, you can use other types of crackers, such as saltines or Ritz, for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the taste and texture will vary slightly, so choose a cracker that suits your preference.
What can I add to the chocolate layer?
Consider adding crushed nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, or even mini marshmallows to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture for extra flavor and texture. This will enhance the overall taste and provide a delightful crunch.
How can I make these cookies more decadent?
To elevate the richness, drizzle melted caramel over the chocolate layer before refrigerating. You can also sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet and salty combination that enhances the flavors of the chocolate and peanut butter.
