Caramel Ritz Cracker Cookies are a simple and delicious treat featuring crispy Ritz crackers sandwiched with rich caramel and dipped in smooth chocolate. Perfect for a quick dessert or snack, these no-bake cookies combine salty, sweet, and chocolatey flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Ritz crackers – 20 crackers
  • Caramel candies or caramel squares – 20 pieces
  • Chocolate (semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips) – 1 cup (175g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crackers: Lay half of the Ritz crackers flat on a clean surface, ensuring they are evenly spaced to assemble the cookies.
  2. Add caramel: Place one caramel candy on each cracker. If the caramels are hard, you can soften them slightly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them easier to work with.
  3. Make sandwiches: Top each caramel with another Ritz cracker, pressing gently to form a sandwich with the caramel in the middle.
  4. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Dip the sandwiches: Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
  6. Set the cookies: Place the chocolate-coated sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm, about 20-30 minutes.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought soft caramels or homemade caramel squares for the filling.
  • If desired, sprinkle sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets for a sweet and salty contrast.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • To speed up chocolate setting, refrigerate the cookies but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for best texture.
  • Use semi-sweet chocolate for balanced sweetness, or milk chocolate for a creamier flavor.
