Print Recipe
Course dessert
Servings 15 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter, creamy or chunky, your choice (My family likes chunky!)
  • 30 Round Ritz crackers
  • 1 cup Milk or dark chocolate chips (We prefer dark!)
  • 1 tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Spread peanut butter on half of the crackers and top with remaining crackers, then refrigerate until cookie sandwhiches are firm.
  • Combine the chocolate chips and butter, then melt in microwave at high heat for one minute. (or if you prefer, in a double boiler over simmering water).
  • Stir the chocolate and butter mixture until smooth. (If not yet totally smooth, continue to microwave at 20 second intervals, always stirring when you take it out.) NOTE: Since chocolate continues to melt even after removed from microwave, you risk burning it if you heat it until completely smooth without stirring.
  • Dip sandwiches in chocolate mixture with tongs, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Place on waxed paper (you might want to spray with some Pam first)
  • When set, serve and enjoy!

History of Ritz Crackers

Ritz Crackers have a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. Here are the facts in case you’re interested! (You’ll be a big hit at your next cocktail party!)

Early 20th Century

Ritz Crackers were first introduced by Nabisco, a well-known American snack company, in 1934. The crackers were named after the famous Ritz Hotel in Paris, known for its luxury and elegance. Nabisco aimed to convey a sense of sophistication and refinement with these crackers, much like the hotel.

Appearance and Composition

Ritz Crackers are round, flaky, buttery crackers that are slightly salty. They are made from wheat flour, vegetable oil, and a blend of seasonings. Their distinctive scalloped edge design and the small holes on their surface became iconic features.

Popularity and Variations

Ritz Crackers quickly gained popularity due to their unique taste and texture. Over the years, Nabisco introduced various flavor variations, such as Reduced Fat, Whole Wheat, and Roasted Vegetables, to cater to different consumer preferences.

Integration in Recipes

Ritz Crackers also found their way into various recipes. They have been used as a base for appetizers, such as cream cheese and smoked salmon bites, as well as in dishes like casseroles and crumb coatings for fried foods.

Advertising and Marketing

Nabisco invested heavily in advertising and marketing to promote Ritz Crackers. The brand often used slogans that emphasized the crackers’ light and crispy texture, making them suitable for various occasions, from snacking to entertaining guests.

Ownership Changes

Nabisco, the original producer of Ritz Crackers, went through multiple ownership changes. It was acquired by Kraft Foods in 2000, forming the company Kraft Nabisco. Later, Mondelez International (formerly known as Kraft Foods Inc.) became the owner of the brand.

Cultural Impact

Ritz Crackers became a staple in American households and are widely recognized as a versatile snack. They are commonly enjoyed on their own, paired with cheese, spread with peanut butter, or used as a base for various appetizers.

Throughout the years, Ritz Crackers have maintained their popularity and iconic status in the snack industry. They continue to be enjoyed by people of all ages as a classic snack option and a versatile ingredient in cooking and baking.
