Ingredients
Scale
Cracker Sandwiches
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (or melted caramel candies)
White Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Decoration
- Red, white, and green festive sprinkles (to decorate)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Make Caramel Sandwiches: Place a dollop of caramel sauce on 12 Ritz crackers. Then top each with another cracker to form a sandwich. Press lightly to secure the filling inside.
- Melt White Chocolate: Combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Sandwiches: Dip each caramel-filled cracker sandwich into the melted white chocolate ensuring an even coat. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle the red, white, and green festive sprinkles on the coated sandwiches while the chocolate is still wet to ensure they stick well.
- Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature until firm, or refrigerate briefly to speed up the process.
Notes
- Use caramel sauce for easier assembly or melt caramel candies if preferred.
- Vegetable oil in the white chocolate helps achieve a smooth and glossy coating.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- These cookies do not require baking or complex equipment, making them quick and easy holiday treats.
