These White Chocolate Nutella Ritz Crackers Cookies are a delightful and festive treat, combining crispy Ritz crackers sandwiched with creamy Nutella and dipped in smooth, peppermint-infused white chocolate. Finished with colorful holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes, they make a perfect no-bake cookie for any celebration or season.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 24 sandwiches (48 crackers)

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 48 Ritz crackers
  • ¾ cup Nutella (approx. 1 ½-2 tsp. per sandwich)

White Chocolate Coating

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Nutella Sandwiches: Spread about 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella onto the flat side of a Ritz cracker. Sandwich it with another cracker to form pairs. Place the sandwich cookies on a parchment-lined pan or plate, then put them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up the Nutella.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: While the sandwiches freeze, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave method. For the microwave, heat in 20-second increments at 50% power, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. The chocolate should be completely smooth before proceeding.
  3. Add Peppermint Extract: Stir ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate for a festive flavor.
  4. Dip Cookies in Chocolate: Remove the Nutella sandwiches from the freezer. Dip each sandwich halfway into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate evenly if needed. Place dipped cookies back on parchment paper.
  5. Decorate and Set: Immediately sprinkle with holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes while the chocolate is still wet. Repeat with all cookies.
  6. Let Chocolate Harden: Allow the white chocolate to cool and harden at room temperature, or refrigerate to speed up the setting process.
  7. Serve and Store: Enjoy your cookies immediately, or store them in a cool place or refrigerator to keep the Nutella filling firm and prevent oozing.

Notes

  • White chocolate melts better using a double boiler to avoid seizing and overcooking, though microwaving is possible with caution.
  • Alternative nut or seed butters can be used instead of Nutella, but Nutella pairs perfectly with the peppermint white chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Store cookies in a cool spot or refrigerate to maintain firmness and prevent Nutella from becoming too soft and oozing.
  • Customize these treats for any holiday or season by changing sprinkles and omitting peppermint extract for a year-round dessert.
