Easter Ritz Peanut Butter Patties


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 24 patties

Ingredients

Scale

For the Patties:

  • 48 Ritz crackers (or similar buttery round crackers)
  • 150g creamy peanut butter (or almond/sunflower butter)
  • 300g chocolate chips or chocolate melts (milk, dark, or white)

Optional Toppings and Decorations:

  • 50g pastel sprinkles or candy pearls
  • Crushed nuts or mini chocolate chips
  • Shredded coconut (plain or colored)
  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Candy-coated chocolate eggs
  • Edible Easter decorations (bunnies, flowers, mini chicks)
  • Food coloring (if tinting white chocolate for decoration)

Instructions

1. Assemble the peanut butter patties

  • Lay out half of the Ritz crackers flat side up on a tray.
  • Spoon about 1–1½ tsp of peanut butter onto each cracker and spread gently.
  • Top with another cracker to form a sandwich, pressing lightly to secure.
  • Place patties in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to firm up.

2. Melt the chocolate

  • In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  • If desired, add 1 tsp oil (coconut or sunflower) to thin the chocolate for easier coating.

3. Coat the patties

  • Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each patty into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
  • Let excess chocolate drip off, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Repeat until all patties are coated.

4. Decorate while wet

  • Immediately decorate with sprinkles, candy eggs, or Easter-themed toppings before the chocolate sets.
  • If desired, drizzle with tinted white chocolate for added color and design.

5. Chill to set

  • Refrigerate patties for 15–30 minutes or until chocolate is fully hardened.
  • Once set, transfer to an airtight container or serve directly.
