In our household, Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter is affectionately referred to as “Crack in a Jar” for a very good reason. There’s something about the combination of sugar, spice, and everything nice that makes it irresistible! There are smooth and crunchy versions, but I prefer the crunchy. It’s great as a spread on toast or with fruit and honestly, just by the spoonful! Give it a try – you won’t regret it!

It’s a versatile delight that can be savored on toast and bagels, drizzled over ice cream, paired with apples, enjoyed with pretzels, or even devoured straight from the jar with an eager spoon. But hold onto your taste buds, because we’re about to take it up a notch by adding a touch of chocolate.
We have one jar each of the smooth and crunchy spread in our pantry at all times for when we need a little snack. It is a great substitute for nut butters.
Lotus Biscoff has another version of cookie butter that’s just as tasty! This one reminds me of the cookies Delta Airlines and United Airlines serve on their flights. It’s got a thick, creamy texture and it’s not overly sweet.
With the spirit of culinary adventure guiding us and the mantra that “calories don’t count” (or so we like to believe), I’m whipping up several batches of delectable cookies for gifting for upcoming birthdays.
Inside my charming cookie and treat gift tins, you’ll find treasures like English Toffee, Lemon Snowdrop Cookies, delightful Peppermint Bark, and, of course, these irresistible Chocolate Covered Cookie Butter Cracker Sandwiches. Brace yourself; everyone in your circle is about to become a fan of your culinary prowess.
Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Cracker Cookies
- 32 Ritz Crackers (or your preferred buttery crackers)
- 1/2 cup Cookie Butter (or substitute with peanut butter)
- 16 ounces Semi-sweet or milk chocolate, for melting
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt
How to Make Ritz Crackers & Cookie Butter Chocolate Covered Snacks
- Start by spreading a generous dollop of Cookie Butter onto a Ritz Cracker and top with another cracker, creating a cracker sandwich.
- Next, melt your choice of semi-sweet or milk chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler. Remember, the quality of chocolate elevates the experience, so indulge a little!
- Gently dip each Cookie Butter-filled cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s coated entirely.
- Place the chocolate-covered creations onto a silicone mat or parchment paper-lined tray.
- If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle crushed nuts, colorful sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt on top for that extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
- Allow the chocolate to set by refrigerating the treats for approximately 30 minutes.
Substitutions
- Now, if your pantry isn’t currently graced by the presence of Cookie Butter, don’t fret; you can effortlessly swap it out for peanut butter or any other nut butter of your choice.
- Crackers: You can also enjoy these as chocolate-covered graham cracker treats by substituting the butter crackers for graham crackers.
