Description

These White Chocolate Nutella Ritz Crackers Cookies are a delightful no-bake treat featuring creamy Nutella sandwiched between buttery Ritz crackers, dipped in melted white chocolate with a hint of peppermint and topped with festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet snack, these cookies combine crunchy, creamy, and sweet flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Cookies

  • 48 Ritz crackers
  • ¾ cup Nutella (approximately 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons per sandwich)

White Chocolate Coating

  • 12 oz. high-quality melting white chocolate (about 2 cups)
  • ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Nutella Sandwiches: Spread about 1 to 2 teaspoons of Nutella onto the flat side of one Ritz cracker. Sandwich it with another cracker, pressing gently to secure. Place each sandwich on a parchment-lined pan or plate. Repeat until all crackers are used, then freeze the sandwiches for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: While the sandwiches freeze, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave method. If microwaving, heat in 20-second increments at 50 percent power, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add Peppermint Flavor: Stir ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate for a festive touch.
  4. Dip Sandwiches in Chocolate: Dip each Nutella sandwich halfway into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate evenly if needed. Place the dipped sandwiches back onto the parchment-lined surface.
  5. Decorate: Immediately sprinkle holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes over the chocolate before it hardens to add color and texture.
  6. Set the Chocolate: Let the white chocolate cool and harden at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing the cookies in the refrigerator.
  7. Enjoy: Once the chocolate coating is firm, your festive White Chocolate Nutella Ritz Cracker Cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Freezing the Nutella sandwiches before dipping helps the chocolate set faster and keeps the sandwich intact.
  • If you prefer, you can use a microwave for melting the white chocolate, just be careful to avoid burning it by heating in short intervals.
  • For an extra peppermint punch, you can add a small amount of crushed candy cane inside the Nutella filling before sandwiching.
  • Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge depending on your climate.
  • Be sure to use high-quality white chocolate melting wafers for the best smooth consistency and taste.
