What You’ll Need
This is one of those recipes where the ingredient list is short and forgiving.
How to Make Peanut Butter Football Cracker Cookies
1. Assemble the Crackers
Spread peanut butter onto one football-shaped Ritz cracker, then sandwich it with another cracker. Don’t overfill them! Use just enough to cover the surface so it doesn’t squish out the sides.
2. Dip in Chocolate
Melt your chocolate until smooth, then dip each peanut butter cracker sandwich into the chocolate. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift it out, tap off the excess, and place on parchment paper.
Perfection is not the goal here! A little uneven chocolate just adds to the homemade look.
3. Add the Football Laces
Once the chocolate is mostly set, pipe simple football laces on top using white frosting or melted white chocolate. A small round piping tip works great, but a zip-top bag with the corner snipped works too.
Let everything set completely before serving or packaging.
