Chocolate Champs No Bake Cookies
Hi, it’s Still Blonde’s resident baker, Alexzandra! I’m back with a wonderful treat for you. Chocolate Champs No Bake Cookies are a Big Game Party treat that’s hard to beat! Quick to make— no-bake! Easy to take-n’-go. Add some flair to your super-bowl party with this easy recipe that will make peanut butter and chocolate lovers craving to know how they are made.
A Family Favorite for Years!
My family has made this recipe for YEARS. My siblings and I talk all the time about when we were in elementary all the other students would grab these cookies first at school parties, because Chocolate Champs No Bake Cookies taste SO GOOD. No one else ever brought in a better treat for school events. My dad always helped us make these, with his contribution being to make sure all the ingredients were there because these cookies are SO EASY to make.
- 7 oz box of original Ritz Crackers
- 16 oz jar of smooth Peanut Butter ( I used Jiff)
- Two 12 oz packages of Hersey’s Milk Chocolate Chips
- ½ cup of Crisco (shortening)
- Optional: Decorative toppers or writing frosting
- Cover a cooking pan with aluminum foil, preferably a shallow cookie sheet.
- Frost a Ritz cracker evenly with peanut butter. Add another Ritz cracker on top to “sandwich” the peanut butter in-between
- Prepare the whole box of Ritz this way. You may use several pans. When a pan is completed, place in the fridge to cool
- Pour 2 packages of chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Melt in microwave for 30 seconds, take out, and mix. Continue in 30 second increments until completely melted.
- Remove a tray of the prepared Ritz and peanut butter sandwiches from the fridge. Dip each sandwich one-by-one into your bowl of chocolate, completely covering the sandwich. Place back on tray to cool.
- If placing decorative toppers onto cookies, place when chocolate is still slightly melted. This will make sure they stay in place. If writing on cookies, wait until they are chilled to avoid smearing.
- Put tray back into fridge to chill.
- Once chilled, cookies are ready to eat! When the cookies are chilled, they are simple to pop into a to-go container or onto a serving tray.
This is a great recipe to make for any event, and a nice way to bring the whole family together through baking. As you can imagine, you can vary the chocolate (white, fancy colors), the insides of the sandwich, and the toppings. Let your imagination run wild.

I have seen variations of this before (using crackers, PB, + chocolate) and have wanted to try it – now I think I will! It seems somewhat time-consuming, tho, for something that will probably be gobbled down in minutes… !! I was hoping one of the other commenters would have posted something AFTER making them… oh, well – I’m sure they’re worth a try!
I am not a baker and don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but these look super easy to make! Thanks!
these look divine!!! thanks for the great recipe. I want to make these for the super bowl party we will have
These look marvelous. I did not know that you could make a chocolate coating like that. What I want to know is where the cute football toppers come from.
Those look really good. Thanks for the recipe.
These are awesomeness!!!!
I love cookies that you don’t have to bake. I could make these.
It’s football season…no bake is nice….and you can’t go wrong with chocolate. This is a great recipe. The pb middle just adds a yummy touch. I like that this is easy; a great recipe for microwave oven day, too.
What a Clever Idea! Peanut Butter and Chocolate is a Favorite combination for most people. They look Delicious and cute! You could change the theme for any ocassion and they would still be Awesome! Thankyou for sharing this Recipe! I Love it!!

Yummy! Chocolate and peanut Butter! Another great flavor combination! Love it! I want to make these cookies! I can think of endless Holidays and Special Occasions I could make these for! The only thing I noticed is I can’t find any where in the recipe where you use the Shortening? It looks like something white is mixed in with the chocolate chips in the picture. But please let me know! Thank you for this Yummy recipe!!

I think these big game chocolate champs no bake cookies would be good. I like recipes that are quick and easy.
Very cute idea and I bet it tastes great, too! I love the football decorations; so unique and fitting. You could easily change up the decorations for different holidays. You could even use white chocolate chips and food coloring to get your teams colors. It’s basketball season and the round shape would be great for making them basketballs.
These look so cute and are easy to make. I love chocolate in any form!
