Peanut Butter Desserts
Talk about the Best Disneyland Food there is! You are in for such a treat with my Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches from Disneyland! I am without a doubt a chocolate and peanut butter fanatic. When I first devoured this treat from Disneyland for the first time in 2011, I knew I had to go home and make my own version. It is too good to only enjoy at Disney 🙂

The Best Food At Disneyland
We LOVE visiting Disneyland Park! There are so many amazing treats to try.
The beloved Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich from Disneyland Parks! Note, Disneyland has a new version of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich, not quite as good as the original they used to sell, but still a fun option. I like my homemade version better than the new version served at the Parks.
Find these Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches at the bakeries around Disneyland Resort. Pooh Corner in Critter Country is my favorite place to pick up snacks!
I was very happy with my homemade version! You can’t tell very well in the “Disneyland” version, but there is a thin layer of chocolate between the peanut butter and graham cracker.
The Best Peanut Butter Desserts
Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches From Disneyland
Ingredients
- 3 cups good quality chopped milk chocolate
- 4 tablespoons shortening
- 12 halved graham crackers
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and shortening over a double boiler, stirring to melt. I use a small saucepan, boil water, reduce heat to low and place a heat proof bowl over the saucepan then add my chocolate, stirring until melted.
- Dip each graham cracker into chocolate and let set up on wax or parchment paper. Stick in the freezer for a few minutes to speed this up. Spread 2 tablespoons (or a cookie scoopful) of peanut butter over the top of each dipped graham cracker then place in the freezer for 10 more minutes. This step is important. While the peanut butter is freezing, remove chocolate from heat and stir, so it cools slightly and thickens up a touch. Slowly and carefully spoon melted chocolate over tops and sides of peanut butter. This is where the patience and work comes in. Use a small spoon working the chocolate around the edges and sides. You'll then use a little plastic knife to run the chocolate around the edges and clean it up a little. Let set up, (stick back in the freezer for another 10 minutes) then with a spoon, drizzle chocolate over top to get the "lines" you see in the pictures above. (If your chocolate is too thick at this point, set it back over the double boiler so it melts a little bit).
- My reviews...Definitely keep these chilled just like Disneyland does, they melt rather quickly once your fingers get on them. It was tricky to get mine to look quite as pretty as the Disneyland ones, but with a little patience you can do it! Have fun and keep them chilled!

Pin Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches
ok, totally have to try this! hubby is a huge pb and chocolate fan
what if you dipped them in the chocolate? wouldnt that be easier and get a uniform edge? maybe half at a time for less mess.
or dip bottom -dry, then top and sides. adding some coconut and powdered sugar to the peanut butter and mixing would make it able to be handled so this would make it really simple for uniform dipping. i make “peanut butter balls” just with those ingredients and can roll into balls with no mess or sticking. then i roll in cereal or nuts or dried fruit, chocolate chips,graham cracker crust.
what do you think?
these look delicious
take care

mmm, going to try these with marshmallow, because i LOVE the smore sandwiches at disneyland!!
This Disneylander is impressed! Fantastic trip report, love the pictures and the choc/pb/graham treat looks terrific. Well done. I’ve already pinned it to my “YUM” board on Pinterest. 🙂
I think this recipe would be excellent with Almond Bark or Candy Quick. They dry and set with a hard, smooth surface and taste delish.
Thanks for sharing!
What type of chocolate did you use? Mine melted but was way too thick, even with extra shortening/butter.
Tasted ok, but was too thick to work with.
This look wonderful! I might try using Keebler Chocolate Covered Grahams to make these even quicker. I don’t think differences in chocolae should make too much difference.
In the Sept. issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal they had an article about Bake Sales. Your recipe for peanut butter cup s’mores bars by Melanie Martin was featured but I could not find it on your website. I also used the “search” function but still could not find the recipe. Can you help me? Thanks!
YOU AND YOUR BOYS MAKE A LOVELY FAMILY. I KNOW YOU ARE PROUD. THESE SOUND DELICIOUS. I MAKE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS. I USE RITZ CRACKERS. PUT PEANUT BUTTER BETWEEN TWO CRACKERS AND DIP IN MELTED CHOCOLATE. I ALSO USE A HALF BAR OF PARAFFIN WITH MY CHOCOLATE. THESE KEEP VERY WELL OUT OF FRIDGE. THEY ARE EASY TO DO.
OMG. I loved your photos of Disneyland, i would like to visit one day for sure!! And that chocolate peanut butter slice… I’m in New Zealand and i would like to try to make the slice but what are the crackers?? What texture are they.. Are they salty.. And is the peanut butter smooth or crunchy.. And when your recipe says shortening is that like a product called Kremelta? (Would u use it to make chocolate rice bubble crackles for a child’s birthday party?) I’m new to pin interest so I hope I receive your answer…. Thanks Donna
So… I’m currently in the process of making these, but me being me… I’m making it crazy complicated.
The ones that are currently in the making have a layer of vanilla ice cream after the peanut butter. I hope they come out as amazing as yours look!!!
Hey, as a long time candy maker, I thought I’d share a tip with you. Instead of using shortening, use 1/2 a bar of paraffin wax. It will make the chocolate spread easier, keep it from melting and add some sheen.
Don’t get freaked-out, there’s wax in most chocolate covered candy that you buy.
I looooved these!! Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods, so I always love finding tasty desserts with PB in it. Thanks so much for this great idea!
The pictures from Disney are great! And these sandwiches look amazing. Combining my two true loves, chocolate and peanut butter. These caught my eye immediately and I can’t wait to make them.
Thanks for the recipe!
well I grew up in so Ca and been there many many times but a long time ago. Loved your pictures! I think your version looks better and I’d pick yours to eat! All things peanut butter and chocolate are the best..thanks for sharing
These look delish! I can’t wait to try them. I will try it with Guittard’s Chocolate Melt and Molds. This is already tempered chocolate and won’t melt as quickly in your hands. I use it for my truffles and peppermint bark. Good stuff.
Hello there, just was aware of your weblog through Google, and found that it’s truly informative. I?m gonna be careful for brussels. I?ll be grateful if you happen to proceed this in future. Lots of other folks can be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
I’m really impressed together with your writing abilities as well as with the structure to your blog. Is that this a paid subject matter or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is uncommon to see a nice weblog like this one these days..
This looks AMAZING!!! I’m going to have to make it! Yummy!
I have been dying to make these but havent had the time. I am Disneyland for the next 2 days and showed your picture to the park staff and sent me to the right place. Oh my goodness theses are so good. I am so glad you posted these and how to make them. Ps the graham cracker is dipped in chocolate first.
So glad you found them!! I have to get them every time we go!
These look really good. I wonder how a layer of marshmallow creme would be on there?? Something like a smore, might be worth a try. I’ll let you know.
Those look so yummy! I love having a great treat somewhere and trying to find a way to make it at home. Looks like you nailed it!
I just pinned this recipe on Pinterest! Thank you!
It’s crazy but I just had one of these Peanut Butter sandwich treats for the very first time last week. I found be at it’s very best at room temperature, and not right out of the cool case they are kept in at the Parks. I like your recipe and will give it a try soon. But I’m sure it wont be as pretty as yours or Disney’s, Thanks for the ideas.
I made these this past weekend for an over-nighter with my girl friends. I quartered the grahams (since I was making a bunch of mini desserts) and mixed in a little powdered sugar with the peanut butter. Though they took time to make (I obediently did all the freezing and was glad I did), it was much easier than I expected. And of the six desserts I made, THIS is the one everyone was talking about. I will make these again and again. Thanks so much for the recipe!
They look delicious. I would recommend using chocolate covered graham crackers. It would get rid of the first two steps of your recipe.I’m definetely going to try these. Thank you
I have zero patience in the chocolate drizzling department, but I love everything peanut butter, chocolate and graham cracker. I need to make these ASAP!!
It is I rarely find in the Internet as entertainment and you have something interestinghere. Your page is lovely, your graphics highlight, not to mention that you refer to, the use of relevant what you’re talking. Of course you are a in a million, good!
I find errors in this blog a bit, but it caught my attention, after I thought I would let you know, I really like it. I like this post, and will tell my friends this site.
Wonderful recipe! Looks soooo yummy! Can’t wait to try! Your pictures are great, too!!
I love you for coming up with this recipe!!! I was at Disneyland in May and had one of these – so yummy! Now I can make my own . . . which maybe isn’t a good thing 🙂
How fun! You’re like the Disneyland Queen. Do they recognize you there?? I love this treat- so completely decadent and perfect and Easy!
Your boys are beautiful 🙂 And so are those biscuits!! Probably no better combination than chocolate and peanut butter!
I absolutely love peanut butter and chocolate together! I’m going to have to try these very soon!
Awww, Jenny such special memories with your sweet boys and these sweets look AMAZING!! xo
Wow. I’m super impressed. I hope you ate every last one of those, and didn’t give any of them away:) The second batch you can share.
Yum! Looks tote delish! You are sooo lucky that you live near Disneyland!
