1. Prep your workspace

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. This is your staging area for both building and cooling the stacks. Trust me, you’ll want that non-stick surface when the chocolate hardens.

2. Assemble the cracker sandwiches

Lay out 24 Ritz crackers on the baking sheet. In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter and marshmallow creme until smooth. It’s okay if it looks a little sticky—that’s the fun part. Spread a thin layer of the mixture on each cracker. Not too thick, or it’ll squish out when you press them together! Top with another cracker to create a sandwich. Give yourself a little cheer—halfway done already!

3. Melt the chocolate

Chop your chocolate into small pieces if it isn’t already. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15- to 30-second bursts, stirring between each. Be patient; overheating can cause chocolate to seize up. If that happens, don’t panic—just add a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter and stir vigorously to bring it back.

4. Dip and decorate

Now the fun part! Using two forks, dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place the coated stacks back on the baking sheet and, if desired, sprinkle with holiday decorations while the chocolate is still wet. Get creative—this is where kids (or adults) can have a blast!

5. Chill and serve

Pop the baking sheet into the fridge or freezer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch. Then, they’re ready to serve!
