The number of times that I have made these Chocolate Covered Nutella Ritz should be studied. Whenever my sweet tooth is craving something sweet and salty, this no bake treat is always my go-to.
After making my Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz, I felt like I needed a permanent spot on my site with a Nutella version. Since I put Nutella in almost all of the recipes that I make.
This recipe is the perfect holiday treat for cookie trays or last minute gifts. And if you are searching for more Christmas recipes, I have been loving my Candy Cane Saltine Toffee and my Melted Snowman Nutella Brownies lately.
Key Ingredients
- Ritz crackers: I love using the buttery Ritz brand crackers, but the generic store brand works well too. They can even be made gluten free by swapping the Ritz crackers for a buttery gluten free alternative, such as these Lance crackers.
- Nutella: I always have Nutella on hand, but any chocolate hazelnut spread will do. You can also replace it with a sweet spread like Biscoff spread, or something salty like peanut butter or cashew butter.
- Chocolate Chips: I use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use whatever flavor of chocolate chips you like. For a more Christmas-like style, I would do white chocolate with Christmas sprinkles.
- Coconut oil: This helps the chocolate chips melt without burning in the microwave. You can omit this if you are doing the double boiler method for melting chocolate.
How To Make Chocolate Covered Nutella Ritz
Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread ½ tablespoon of Nutella on a Ritz cracker and sandwich another on top. Repeat with remaining Ritz crackers. Place in the freezer.
Step 2: In a small microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30 second intervals, mixing until smooth. Dip the Ritz sandwiches in the melted chocolate and return to the baking sheet. Refrigerate until hardened.
Chocolate Covered Nutella Ritz Expert Tips
Storage: Store these chocolate-covered Ritz in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. If it is warm in your kitchen, store in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting or getting too soft.
Adding toppings: If you are adding sprinkles or chopped nuts on top, make sure to sprinkle them on right after dipping into the melted chocolate. You need to do this before the chocolate hardens.
To dip the chocolate: I like to use a fork so that there isn't a lot of excess chocolate pooling at the bottom of the Ritz cracker. You can also purchase chocolate dipping tools to make it easier.
Chill the Ritz sandwiches before dipping. This is optional, but I find it easier to dip since the Nutella Ritz sandwiches will stick together more, and the melted chocolate hardens faster.
