How do you Dip Ritz Crackers in Chocolate?
Once you have spread the peanut butter on one cracker, top with another to sandwich the peanut butter. Simply stick a fork in the peanut butter and dip in the melted chocolate.
Once you have your ritz crackers are covered with chocolate then gently shake off an excessive chocolate. Place the chocolate covered ritz on a baking sheet line with parchment paper for the chocolate to harden.

Add Peanut Butter to Crackers – Spread Peanut butter onto the tops of 12 crackers, you can make it as thick as you would like.
Top with another cracker – Place the rest of the crackers on top of the peanut butter and sandwich them together.
Melt Chocolate – Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once the chocolate is melted, use a fork to dip the peanut butter cracker sandwich into the chocolate to coat.

- Half Dipped – If you don’t want to dip the entire cracker in the chocolate, then only dip half the cracker in the chocolate.
