Ingredients
Peanut Butter Sandwiches
- 1 sleeve snack crackers (such as Ritz or Late July)
- ¼ to ½ cup smooth peanut butter
Chocolate Coating
- 1 ¼ cups vegan chocolate chips
Optional Toppings
- Crushed nuts or sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare Peanut Butter Sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of smooth peanut butter on one cracker and top with another to create small sandwich bites. Keeping the peanut butter layer thin ensures easier dipping and a balanced taste.
- Melt Vegan Chocolate: Gently melt the vegan chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and glossy. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for coating.
- Dip Sandwiches in Chocolate: Using a fork or your fingers, dip each peanut butter cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, making sure they are fully coated. Place them carefully on the prepared baking tray.
- Chill Until Set: Once all sandwiches are coated, place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up completely.
- Serve: Keep the sandwiches chilled until ready to serve to maintain their shape and freshness.
Notes
- Vegan White Chocolate: Substitute or combine regular vegan chocolate chips with vegan white chocolate for a different flavor and decoration option. You can also drizzle white chocolate on top for added visual appeal.
- Sea Salt Flakes: Sprinkle sea salt flakes on the chocolate coating before chilling to enhance the sweet and savory flavor balance.
- Jelly Addition: For a classic twist, add a layer of sweet jelly inside the peanut butter sandwich.
- Bananas: Add thin slices of banana within the sandwich for added freshness and nutrients.
- Cracker Variations: Graham crackers can be used instead of round snack crackers for a slightly sweeter alternative.
- Sandwich Pops: Insert bamboo skewers into the sandwiches after chilling for easy-to-handle popsicle-style treats.
