Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz are an easy no-bake treat made with creamy peanut butter sandwiched between buttery Ritz crackers and dipped in melted chocolate. They’re sweet, salty, crunchy, and perfect for holidays or parties.
These little treats have been in my recipe collection since 2016. They’re especially fun to decorate for Valentine’s Day, but you can change the colors for any holiday.
About the Ingredients
- White Chocolate: Melts into a sweet coating for the cracker sandwiches.
- Ritz Crackers: Buttery, salty crackers add the perfect crunch.
- Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter holds the crackers together.
- Red Food Coloring: Gives the white chocolate a festive pink or red color. Use oil-based coloring made for chocolate to prevent seizing.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz
Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate according to the package directions. Stir in 2–3 drops of oil-based red food coloring until you reach your desired color.
Make the Sandwiches: Spread peanut butter generously between two Ritz crackers to make a sandwich.
Dip in Chocolate: Dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
Add Sticks (Optional): Insert a lollipop stick into each sandwich to make chocolate-covered Ritz pops.
Let Set: Place on parchment paper and let sit for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Tips I Found Helpful
- Use creamy peanut butter: It spreads easily between the crackers.
- Don’t overfill: A thin layer keeps the sandwiches together when dipping.
- Use melting wafers: They melt smoothly and set up nicely.
- Chill until firm: Let the chocolate coating harden completely before storing.
