Ingredients Used
Optional Add-ins:
- Crushed nuts – Though this is an add-on, we love how they add a crunchy element to these mini cracker sandwiches. Use any type of nuts that you like, like peanuts, almonds, walnut, or cashew. You can sprinkle them on after the melted chocolate is added. Or, you can mix them with the melted chocolate too.
- Sprinkles – This is the fun step where your kids can help you decorate the P&B crackers sandwich. They will have so much fun making it and have a blast devouring them for sure!
How to make these Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches
Step 1 : Make the Mini Sandwiches. Spread the peanut butter thinly in between two crackers and set it aside. You should be able to come up with 12 sandwiches.
Step 2: Melt the Vegan Chocolate Chips. Here are some simple instructions showing how to melt chocolate. Prepare and line the baking tray with parchment paper. Dip each peanut butter sandwich into the vegan chocolate and line them up on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Let them Chill. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Tips when Making Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches
- We used some peanut butter that already has some sugar in it, but if you use natural peanut butter, you can opt to add in a small teaspoon of powdered sugar.
- Stir the peanut butter into the jar to distribute the oil evenly before spreading them into the crackers. Scooping the top most part without stirring it first will cause the sandwiches to be oily and the cracker soggy.
- If you do not have a microwave or broiler to melt the dairy free chocolate, you can improvise by placing the vegan chocolates in a small bowl and placing in on top of a bigger bowl filled with hot water. Stir until the vegan chocolate chips melt nicely and smoothly.
Amp your Sandwiches!
Here are some great ideas to take these simple sandwiches up a notch! They will come in handy especially when you are planning to make these easy treats for your next party.
- Vegan White Chocolate – instead of using regular vegan chocolate, you can replace it with this or use both of them! You can also use it to decorate your Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches by drizzling it on top of the chocolate coating too.
- Top it with Sea Salt Flakes. That extra saltiness will go really well with the sweetness of the vegan chocolate and the richness of the peanut butter.
- Jelly. For those who canโt enjoy peanut butter without jelly, it is easy enough to add a sweet jelly surprise in the middle of the sandwich.
- Bananas. Add some sliced bananas together with the peanut butter filling to make them substantial and healthy.
- Squares. You can substitute round crackers with graham crackers. They are slightly sweet but would still turn out amazing!
- Sandwich Pops. Stick a bamboo skewer in once the sandwiches have hardened to make pops. This will make them easier and a lot less messy to enjoy!
Storing Notes
Place them in the fridge for 20-30 minutes after adding the melted vegan chocolate to allow it to set. Once they harden, the Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches can be eaten right away or stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 months. If you plan to freeze them, wrap them in foil or plastic and put them in a freezer-friendly container. Cut little squares of parchment or wax paper and place them in between the sandwiches. This will eliminate sandwiches from sticking together.
