Instructions

Prepare the Crackers: Lay out 12 crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter onto each cracker. Top with another cracker to make a sandwich.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip the Stacks: Using a fork, dip each peanut butter cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle with sea salt or crushed peanuts for extra texture and flavor.
Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
Try using white chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor twist.
Add a drizzle of melted caramel for an extra indulgent treat.
These can be frozen for up to 3 months—just thaw for a few minutes before eating.
