How to Make Ritz Cracker Caramel Peanut Clusters
  1. Prepare Crackers: Start by laying out your Ritz crackers in pairs. Spread a generous layer of creamy peanut butter on one cracker and top it with another to create delicious sandwiches.
  2. Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine soft caramels and heavy cream. Heat gently in 30-second intervals, stirring until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
  3. Add Caramel Layer: Take the melted caramel and spoon it out generously over each cracker sandwich.
  4. Chill: Place your caramel-topped sandwiches in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Melt Chocolate: In a new microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate chips.
  6. Dip Clusters: Take each chilled cluster and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Add Toppings: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top.
  8. Set Clusters: Finally, place the tray in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set completely.
