There's never a shortage of treats and desserts to indulge in over the holidays and this easy recipe for Rolo-stuffed Ritz is one more to add to the list. It combines a Rolo melted between two toasted crackers dipped in chocolate with a dash of sprinkles on top. The sweet and salty treat is easy to make ahead of time for any holiday event or just to snack on at home.
You simply spread out the crackers on a baking sheet and top each one with a Rolo candy. The tray goes in the oven for about three minutes or until the Rolo begins to melt. As soon as it's out, while the candy is still warm, place another cracker on top and lightly push down until the candy is sandwiched between the cookies. Once they've cooled, dip them in melted white chocolate and add some festive sprinkles or use a frosting pen (like these ones from Amazon) to decorate them before the chocolate sets.
Keep this treat fresh throughout the holiday season
One of the best parts of this holiday snack is the combination of creamy caramel and crunchy crackers so keeping the batch fresh is key. It's best to use fresh Ritz crackers so they keep their crunch. Once the chocolate is completely set, keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for a cold treat with a firm bite.
It's also easy to personalize these chocolatey Ritz cracker bites by using dark or milk chocolate or chocolate melts instead of white chocolate. Or skip the coating altogether for an even easier two-ingredient dessert. A fun idea is to drizzle the chocolate instead of dipping to create a pattern on the cookie.
You can also pick different crackers to switch things up – pretzel chips are a good swap that increases the saltiness and keeps the crunch. Or skip the sprinkles completely and add in flaky sea salt to enhance the caramel flavors, or throw in some chopped toasted nuts for more texture. And if nuts are doing it for you, try our peanut-butter and chocolate sandwich version of the treat.
