Wondering what to do with all those left-over crackers from your Super Bowl party? Turn them into a sweet and inexpensive treat for your Valentine! Your significant other will truly appreciate your efforts for these little beauties. And they are easily dressed up with a little red decor. I made hearts out of red candy melts and a piping bag, but you could easily use Valentine sprinkles or sanding sugar. Either way, these are a great gift to satisfy your sweetie’s sweet tooth.
White Chocolate Covered Ritz Crackers for Valentine's Day
Author: Amy
Ingredients
- 1 jar Jiffy Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 box of Ritz Crackers
- 1 pkg white chocolate wafers
- 1 pkg red candy melts
Instructions
- Melt the red candy melts in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring often. Once melted, place red chocolate in a piping bag and form hearts by squeezing small amounts of chocolate on a sheet of waxed paper in the shape of a" V", using more pressure at the start of the "V" and releasing as you move toward the tip. Allow to cool until firmly set.
- Spread peanut butter on one cracker. Top the cracker with a second cracker and form a sandwich.
- Repeat this process until you have as many sandwiches as you want. Set aside and prepare the chocolate.
- Melt your white chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval. DO NOT OVERHEAT! Overheating your chocolate will cause it to curdle.
- Once chocolate is melted, dip peanut butter sandwiches in the bowl of chocolate, using a fork to turn and coat. Once coated, tap to remove excess chocolate and place onto a sheet of wax paper.
- While white chocolate is still very soft, place a hardened red candy melt heart on the center of each cracker. Allow to set completely. Enjoy!
Beautifful decoration, I didnt know that hearts can be made that way.
Thanks! They sure can! I just heat up the candy melts either in a piping bag or plastic bottle. Just be sure to heat them slowly so the chocolate doesn’t get too hot!
I love salty-sweet combinations! These look delicious. 😀
Thanks! They are and they are sooo good! 🙂
These look YUMMY and they are so darn cute! I found these via Pinterest. Can’t wait to try them!
FYI these were a huge hit with the hubby and 4 year old son…and myself of course. Wanted to let you know I updated for St. Patrick’s Day!!! Added a few drops of food coloring and green icing shamrocks on top…easy! Thanks do much for a great recipe I will continue to use for years to come!!
Awesome! I have been planning on doing the same thing!!! So glad they liked them. 🙂 White chocolate and peanut butter are two of my favorites!
I’ve made these dipped in milk chocolate, and they taste just like a nutty bar, but I’ve never tried the white chocolate before. They look so good, and are very pretty for Valentine’s Day. I might have to make them for the secretaries at school.
Oh, they are delish. 🙂 And I’m sure those teachers would appreciate them! 🙂
This teacher sure would! What kind of red candy melts? Yum!
I think I just used Wilton brand, but any brand would work. I know Sweet Baking Supply carries them in a variety of colors. Here’s the link. http://www.sweetbakingsupply.com/chocolate-candy-melts-c-22_42.html You could add your school’s colors if they have them! 🙂
I cannot wait to try these, or better yet, one of my student’s mom’s… ha! ha! Truly a great teacher gift! 😉
Agreed!
GREAT IDEA, LOVE SALT AND SWEET.
Try spreading peanut butter on one Ritz and marshmallow creme on the other before putting them together and dipping them. That’s how I make them. White or milk choc.for dipping. What a cute decoration with the heart on top. I never thought about decorating them. Nice touch.
