No Bake Christmas Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers
These No Bake Christmas Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers are one of my family's favorite no bake treats. Buttery Ritz crackers, creamy peanut butter, almond bark and sprinkles, is all you need to make these delicious Christmas "cookies". I like to call them "cookies" even though they are crackers, because they totally give me cookie vibes.
No bake treat recipes are always good to have in your repertoire, especially one as yummy as this one. I have never met a person that didn't fall in love with them after the first bite. I know I did the first time I tried them. I am sure you and your family will too!
Besides being SO GOOD these cookies come together in just 1 hour. Yes, you read that right, 1 hour! If you are needing them super quick, skip the extra decorating and leave them plain. Trust me, they are great without sprinkles or the pretty Christmas trees piped on top.
These cookies will last about 1 week after making them. If you have any left, place them in an airtight container and store at room temperature. No need to refrigerate these little cookies.

- 48 ritz crackers
- As Needed creamy peanut butter
- 24 oz almond bark
- As Needed sprinkles
- As Needed green and red food coloring
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lay half of the ritz crackers out in a single layer.
Spread about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of peanut butter on each cracker. Make sure to keep it off of the edges. Top with remaining crackers, pressing down gently to keep tops on.
Place in the refrigerator while you melt the almond bark. This will help the "cookies" stay together better when dipping.
In a tall (preferably glass) microwave safe container melts the almond bark by following the instructions on the package.
Using a fork, fully dip each "cookie" in the almond bark. Let the excess drip off before placing on a parchment lined baking sheet. If using just sprinkles, add them as you go. The almond bark sets up pretty quickly.
Take the remaining almond bark, separate and color green and red. Place in a piping bag and cut a tiny hole. Pipe the tree on fully set cookies and decorate with sprinkles. Use the red to make bows or just a drizzle.
Rest 10 minutes on the counter or 6 minutes in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Red and green candy melts can be used instead of coloring the almond bark. Or you can color a little white chocolate.
