This Easy Peanut Butter Chocolate Cracker Brittle Recipe Will Be Your New Favourite Holiday Treat

November 25, 2016 by Kathryn 26 Comments

Jump to Recipe

I absolutely love holiday baking, and I’ve mentioned before that I often go overboard making sweet treats for family and friends during the holidays. But because I’m a busy mom, I do tend to favour quick and easy recipes over fussy and finicky ones. In fact, one of my favourites has always been a simple cracker brittle made with nothing more than crackers, butter and brown sugar.

Super Easy Peanut Butter Chocolate Cracker Brittle Recipe

So, when Kraft Canada challenged me to come up with a delicious holiday recipe featuring everyone’s favourite couple, Kraft Peanut Butter and Baker’s Chocolate, I decided to put a new twist on my old favourite by turning it into a peanutty, chocolatey treat. And the resulting Peanut Butter Chocolate Cracker Brittle was absolutely addictive! With just a few ingredients and less than fifteen minutes, you’ll have a full pan of decadence for your next holiday gathering!

I chose Ritz crackers for this recipe because I thought their buttery texture would blend well with the creamy peanut butter, and I was right! But there are plenty of other crackers that work well in this recipe too; soda crackers are another one of my personal favourites. The toffee flavour of the treat combined with the flavours of peanut butter and chocolate is so delicious and even though I still love the original brittle, I’m sure I’m going to be making this chocolate and peanut butter variation just as often!

If you’re looking for even more great Peanut Butter and Chocolate Recipes, make sure to check out the Kraft Canada What’s Cooking website! Quite a few of the website’s recipes are ones I make every holiday season and others, like the Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirled Bark, I can’t wait to try!

And if you want something that’s pure chocolate decadence, then drop everything and make this Foolproof Chocolate Fudge right now!

Of course, make sure to also whip up this quick and easy recipe, though .It’s so easy that you may just find yourself making it all year long instead of just during the holidays!
