Serves: 24 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 24 Rolo candies
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 24 Ritz crackers, 24 Rolo candies, and 1 cup of chocolate chips for drizzling. Make sure you have a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat ready.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the Rolo candies melt perfectly when placed in the oven.
- Take one Ritz cracker and place it on the prepared baking sheet. This will be the base of your sandwich.
- Place a Rolo candy on top of the Ritz cracker. Repeat this process until all 24 Ritz crackers have a Rolo candy on top of them.
- Once all the Rolo candies are placed on the Ritz crackers, put the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the Rolo candies are soft and slightly melted.
- After baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Be careful, as the Rolo candies will be hot.
- While the Rolo candies are still warm, take another Ritz cracker and gently press it on top of each melted Rolo candy to create a sandwich. Allow the sandwiches to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- While the sandwiches are cooling, melt the chocolate chips. You can do this by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Once the chocolate is melted, use a fork or a piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Rolo Ritz cracker sandwiches. Be creative with your drizzling!
- Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes. You can speed up this process by placing the sandwiches in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, your Rolo Ritz Cracker Sandwich Cookies are ready to be served. Enjoy them with friends and family, or store them in an airtight container for later!
Tips
- Use fresh Ritz crackers for the best texture and crunch.
- Watch the Rolos carefully while melting to prevent burning - 5 minutes is the sweet spot!
- For a smoother chocolate drizzle, add a teaspoon of coconut oil when melting chocolate chips.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
- Let the cookies cool completely before drizzling chocolate to ensure a clean, crisp design.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For extra flavor, try using different chocolate chips like milk, dark, or white chocolate.
- Make sure to press the top cracker gently to create a perfect sandwich without breaking.
