Description

These Peanut Butter Monster Snacks are a fun and festive treat perfect for Halloween or any playful snack time. Made with creamy peanut butter sandwiched between Ritz crackers and coated in colorful melted candy wafers, these snacks are decorated with candy eyeballs for a spooky, monster-inspired look. Easy to make and perfect for kids and adults alike!

Ingredients

Scale

Cracker Sandwiches

  • 32 Ritz crackers
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter

Candy Coating

  • 4 oz orange candy melts
  • 4 oz green candy melts
  • 4 oz purple candy melts

Decoration

  • Candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Prepare Surface: Lay a piece of parchment paper onto a clean working surface or on a baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Place 16 Ritz crackers on the parchment paper. Add about 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter on each cracker, spreading it evenly. Top each with another Ritz cracker to form a sandwich.
  3. Melt Candy Coatings: In three separate microwave-safe bowls, melt 4 oz each of purple, orange, and green candy melts. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth enough for dipping.
  4. Dip Sandwiches: Using a fork, gently dip each peanut butter cracker sandwich into one of the melted candy coatings, fully covering the sandwich. Lift and let excess chocolate drip off, then place it back onto the parchment paper.
  5. Add Eyes: While the candy coating is still soft, place candy eyeballs on each dipped sandwich to create the monster look.
  6. Set and Serve: Allow the candy coating to completely harden at room temperature before serving to ensure the coating is firm and the eyeballs stick well.

Notes

  • Make sure the candy melts are not too thick or they will be difficult to dip; adjust by adding a small amount of vegetable oil if needed.
  • Use parchment paper to easily remove the snacks once the candy coating is set.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
  • To speed up setting, refrigerate the dipped sandwiches for about 15 minutes after adding eyeballs.
