Anytime someone throws an outrageous number in front of food, I’m intrigued. I mean, have you tried a 100 Grand Bar? Perfection. Or our million-dollar spaghetti? Even better.
How to Make Billion-Dollar Ritz
Start by laying your Ritz crackers down on a sheet pan while you wait for the oven to heat to 250 degrees F. Then, place a Rolo on top of each cracker. Pop the tray into the oven for about five minutes, just to warm up the caramel and chocolate bites.Remove the tray from the oven and top the Rolos with another Ritz cracker. Because the chocolate is just a little melted, you’ll be able to smush the cracker down, and the Rolo will spread out to coat the entire cracker.
Melt a small bowl of milk chocolate chips in the microwave with coconut oil. Then, use a fork to drizzle chocolate on top of your Ritz crackers.
My Honest Review
These Ritz treats are so delicious. Buttery, chocolaty, and caramelly—yum. It tastes similar to the homemade Saltine toffee bark I used to make when I was a kid, but even better.
My favorite part is the texture from the Rolos. I was expecting it to be similar to a creamy peanut butter Ritz cracker (which might be the case if you eat them soon after taking them out of the oven), but the Rolo was firm and chewy. The Ritz cracker, on the other hand, stays super crisp and adds a much-needed saltiness.
Tips for Making Billion-Dollar Ritz
Don’t skip the coconut oil. I initially tried to sub in butter to help thin the chocolate out. But the mixture didn’t stay loose long enough to drizzle over the crackers.Dip instead of drizzle. If you want even more chocolate (who wouldn’t?), or just don’t have the patience to drizzle, try just dipping each cracker into your melted chocolate mixture
