12 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (standard size or miniatures)
1/4 cup chocolate melting wafers
1 tablespoon festive red and green sprinkles
1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure nothing sticks to the surface during the warming process.
Place 12 of the Ritz crackers onto the prepared baking sheet with the flat side facing up. Make sure to leave about an inch of space between each cracker so they are easy to handle later.
Unwrap your Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and place one in the center of each cracker. If you are using miniature cups, you may want to use two per cracker to fill the space, but one standard cup fits perfectly on a single Ritz.
Slide the baking sheet into the oven for exactly 2 to 3 minutes. You are not looking to melt the chocolate completely, but rather just soften it until it looks glossy and is pliable enough to be pressed down.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately place the remaining 12 crackers on top of the softened peanut butter cups. Press down very gently so the chocolate and peanut butter spread to the edges of the crackers without oozing out too much.
While the chocolate is still warm, drizzle your melted chocolate wafers over the tops and add your Christmas sprinkles. Let the treats sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes until they are completely firm.
