Ritz Crack Cookies are a quick, sweet-and-salty treat made with buttery toffee, crisp crackers, and a smooth chocolate topping. These bite-sized delights are baked in muffin tins for easy handling and perfect for parties, gifts, or satisfying dessert cravings.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 23 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 24 Ritz crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 package (250 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two muffin tins with cupcake liners or spray with cooking spray.
  2. Place one Ritz cracker at the bottom of each liner.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches about 270–290°F.
  4. Remove from heat and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the toffee over each cracker.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and top each with 1–2 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
  7. Let the chocolate melt, then spread with a spoon. If needed, return tray to the oven for 1 minute to help melt the chocolate.
  8. Add sprinkles on top.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator until fully set.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

  • Crushed nuts or candy canes make great topping alternatives to sprinkles.
  • Use any type of chocolate for different flavor profiles.
  • Add flaky sea salt for a gourmet finish.
  • Create sandwich-style cookies by topping each with a second Ritz cracker before adding chocolate.
  • Chill before serving for the best texture.
