Caramel Ritz Cracker Christmas Cookies

Delicious no-bake Christmas cookies made by sandwiching Ritz crackers with caramel and dipping them in melted chocolate, then optionally garnished with sprinkles or sea salt.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 42 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 42 Ritz Crackers
  • 1 heaping cup dulce de leche caramel
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces chocolate almond bark
  • Sprinkles for optional garnish
  • Flake sea salt for optional garnish

Instructions

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Layer half of the Ritz crackers onto the baking sheet.
  3. Spread a generous layer of caramel onto each cracker.
  4. Top with remaining crackers, gently pressing together.
  5. Using a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl over boiling water, melt the chocolate chips and almond bark, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip or coat the sandwich cookies with the melted chocolate.
  7. Sprinkle each cookie with decorative sprinkles or flake salt if desired.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the chocolate is set.

Notes

Use dulce de leche for a rich caramel flavor. If chocolate stiffens during dipping, rewarm gently over the double boiler. Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep chocolate firm.
