Recreate the iconic Disneyland Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches with this delightful copycat recipe. Layers of creamy peanut butter sandwiched between graham crackers and dipped in rich, melted milk chocolate make for a nostalgic, indulgent treat that’s perfect for any chocolate and peanut butter lover.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Coating

  • 3 cups good quality chopped milk chocolate
  • 4 tablespoons shortening

Sandwich

  • 12 halved graham crackers
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Set up a double boiler by boiling water in a small saucepan and reducing the heat to low. Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan (make sure it does not touch the water) and add the chopped milk chocolate and shortening. Stir continuously until the chocolate and shortening are completely melted and smooth.
  2. Dip Graham Crackers: Dip each halved graham cracker completely into the melted chocolate, then place them on wax or parchment paper to set. To speed up the process, place the dipped crackers in the freezer for a few minutes.
  3. Add Peanut Butter Layer: Spread about 2 tablespoons (or a cookie scoopful) of creamy peanut butter over the top of each chocolate-dipped graham cracker. Return them to the freezer for at least 10 minutes to allow the peanut butter to partially freeze and firm up.
  4. Prepare Chocolate for Coating Top: While the peanut butter sets, remove the melted chocolate from heat and stir it gently to cool slightly and thicken for easier coating.
  5. Coat Peanut Butter with Chocolate: Slowly and carefully spoon the slightly thickened melted chocolate over the tops and sides of the peanut butter layer on each cracker. Use a small spoon to work the chocolate evenly around edges, then use a plastic knife to smooth and clean the chocolate around edges for a neat finish.
  6. Set the Sandwiches: Place the coated sandwiches back in the freezer for another 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely.
  7. Decorative Drizzle: If the chocolate has become too thick, gently reheat it over the double boiler to loosen. Using a spoon, drizzle additional melted chocolate lines over the top of each sandwich for decoration, replicating the look of the Disneyland original.
  8. Final Chill: Keep the sandwiches chilled until ready to serve as they melt easily when touched. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain their shape and delicious texture.

Notes

  • Use good quality milk chocolate for the best flavor and smooth coating.
  • Shortening helps thin the chocolate for easy dipping and smoother coating.
  • Freezing the sandwiches at various steps is crucial to get the chocolate to set properly and to handle the peanut butter layer without melting.
  • Handle the sandwiches with care and keep them chilled to avoid melting.
  • If you want a firmer texture, consider refrigerating instead of freezing but keep an eye on melting while serving.
