Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread peanut butter between 2 Ritz crackers to form a sandwich.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother coating, make sure your chocolate chips are fully melted, and consider adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate for a glossy finish. If you prefer a different nut butter, almond or cashew butter can also work well. For added crunch, sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top before the chocolate sets. This dessert is similar to Helen'S French Drop Doughnuts in its indulgence.
