Notes
- Add sugar for sweetness: I used 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 peanut butter first: Stir the peanut butter into the jar to distribute the oil evenly before spreading onto the crackers. Scooping the topmost part without stirring it first may cause the sandwiches to be oily and the cracker soggy.
- Melt the chocolate with a bowl: If you do not have a microwave or broiler to melt the dairy free chocolate, you can improvise. Place the vegan chocolates in a small bowl and set that on top of a bigger bowl filled with hot water. Stir until the vegan chocolate chips melt nicely and smoothly. (Here's more detailed instructions for how to melt chocolate successfully.)
- Vegan White Chocolate: Instead of using regular vegan chocolate, you can replace it with white chocolate or use a mix of chocolates! You can try dipping them half and half (let one half solidify fully first). You can also use white chocolate to decorate your Chocolate Dipped Ritz Sandwiches by drizzling it on top of the chocolate coating too.
- Sea Salt Flakes: 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 can’t enjoy peanut butter without jelly, it is easy enough to add a sweet jelly surprise in the middle of the sandwich.
- Switch up the Butter: Try other nut butters, like almond, cashew, or hazelnut. Or skip the nuts and try cookie butters or even seed butters like this sunflower seed butter you can make yourself!
- Bananas: Add a slice of banana together with the peanut butter filling to make them more filling 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 the middle once the sandwiches have hardened to make pops. This will make them easier to handle and a lot less messy to enjoy!
