Step 3: Add the Caramel Layer
Using a spoon, carefully dollop a small amount of melted caramel onto each Ritz cracker. Spread it gently so it covers most of the surface without overflowing the edges. The caramel layer is what binds the toppings together, so aim for an even coating.
Step 4: Sprinkle the Peanuts
While the caramel is still warm and sticky, sprinkle chopped peanuts over each cracker. Press them lightly into the caramel so they adhere well. The peanuts add crunch and balance the sweetness with a salty bite.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler if you prefer more control.
Step 6: Finish with Chocolate
Spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-peanut layer. Let the chocolate spread naturally or gently guide it with the back of a spoon to cover the toppings evenly.
Step 7: Let Them Set
Allow the biscuits to rest at room temperature until the chocolate firms up, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting. Once fully set, the layers will be firm but still easy to bite into.
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serve these biscuits slightly chilled for a firmer texture or at room temperature for a softer caramel bite.
- Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For gifting, place them in decorative boxes with parchment paper between layers.
