Ingredients
40 Ritz crackers

1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
3 tbsp red, green, and white sprinkles
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and unwrap all caramel candies.
2. Place one caramel candy between two Ritz crackers and gently press to form a sandwich. Repeat for all.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate or almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed.
4. Dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on the prepared sheet.
5. Immediately sprinkle with festive sprinkles before chocolate sets.
6. Allow cookies to set at room temperature (30–40 min) or in the fridge (15–20 min).
7. Serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use soft, chewy caramels for easy sandwiching and best texture.
Always sprinkle decorations right after dipping to ensure they stick.
