Ingredients
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped (about 20–24 pieces)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
- ¼ cup red, green, and white Christmas sprinkles
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
. Prepare the Crackers
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer, leaving a little space between each cracker.
. Melt the Caramel
Place unwrapped caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely smooth.
. Add the Caramel Layer
Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of melted caramel onto each Ritz cracker.
Gently spread it toward the edges, leaving a small border.
. Relax for a little while.
For ten minutes, or until the caramel has somewhat solidified, place the crackers with the caramel on top in the refrigerator.
. The chocolate should be melted.
Coconut oil (optional) and milk chocolate chips should be combined in a microwave-safe bowl.
Stir until smooth and shiny in between 20-second microwave bursts at 50% power.
. Include the Chocolate Topping
Each cracker should have melted chocolate drizzled on top of it.
Spread gently into a smooth, round layer, allowing a bit of caramel to show around the edges.
. Decorate
Right away, sprinkle white, green, and red Christmas sprinkles over the melted chocolate.
You may add a small bit of flaky sea salt if you choose.
. Chill until it has set.
Until the chocolate has hardened, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes.
. Dish out
Take out of the fridge and place on a festive holiday serving tray.
Advice for Making Ritz Christmas Cookies Perfectly
Use fresh Ritz crackers to maximize crispiness.
For a smooth, chewy layer, use soft caramel candies.
Melt the chocolate gently; do not overheat it.
Immediately add sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Keep in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to one week.
If the caramel is too firm, allow cookies to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
