Top each peanut butter-covered cracker with another Ritz cracker to form a sandwich. - Drizzle with Caramel
Drizzle the melted caramel over each cracker sandwich, then sprinkle with chopped peanuts. - Dip in Chocolate
Dip each caramel-peanut-covered cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. - Set the Treats
