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!

I can not wait to make these. I love chocolate and peanut butter together.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
These sound awsome! I have a little trick to help keep the chocolate from melting as much when handled. Now it sounds a little gross, but all candy bars and chocolates have it.. Gulf wax. You can find it either by the jell-o or canning products at grocery stores. U only need little bit, about 1/10 of a bar per 12oz. Of chocolate. It takes slightly longer to melt the wax, but just keep stirring the chocolate until there are no more clumps. And yes, it is safe to eat in small amounts.
Think I could sub butter for the shortening?
I tried this today. This is really good. Thanks!
Can you use butter instead of shortening?
These look really good. What kind of chocolate did you use?
Thanks. Karen
Greetings! I’ve been followung your site for somke time now and finally
got the courage tto go ahead and give you a shout out from New
Caney Tx! Just wante to say keeep up the fantastic work!
Hi Jenny!
So shortening is basically margarin and/or coconut fat? Do you reckon I can use the latter for these wonderful cookies? Thank you and I love your recipes so much!
Thank you! This looks dreamy!
could you use chocolate covered graham crackers?
I tried one of these when I was at Disneyland the other week because I had read before how good you said they were and oh my goodness!! They were delicious!!!! I’m dying to make my own! (I live NO where near Disneyland!!)
What quality brand of milk chocolate and peanut butter would your recommend?
THank you! 🙂
I absolutely love this recipe!!
Since stumbling upon this recipe on pinterest, I have made it a handful of times this year. Everyone just loves them. Thanks so much for sharing, this recipe is a keeper. I love finding baking recipes that don’t require baking in the oven. Very simple to make 🙂
Definitely do keep these refrigerated as they melt quickly at room temperature.
OMG! No, seriously! I’ve actually never been to Disney but chocolate covered graham crackers are ridiculously good and I’ve never even seen a version with peanut butter. I LOVE peanut butter! If I went to Disney and saw these I’d come home a whole dress size bigger! So now I’m torn between pinning this recipe and throwing it away and pretending I never saw it. 🙂
Haha!! 🙂
I had to make these twice on the weekend, because everyone loved them and was fighting over who would get the last one.
Sooo good!
I think I have a solution for the tedious part of putting the chocolate around the sides…I’m a chef and specialize in cakes. I think you can use a plastic disposable decorating bag, fill it with the melted chocolate, then pipe the chocolate around the edges. This would be a lot faster. They sell a decorating tip (real cheap) which I believe is Tip #48, that has a flat opening, which I think would work perfect for this. Another plus is that the warmth from your hand (while holding the decorating bag) will keep the chocolate soft. You can find the bags and tip at any cake decorating or bakers supply store. Craft stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby and such, also carry cake decorating supplies. I hope this helps. And thank you for the recipe. My two sons are chocolate-peanut butter addicts! So I’ll definitely be making these real soon.
when u say shortening do u mean criso?
I made these and they were a hit! They are a little time consuming and it is quite unfortunate that this recipe only makes 12. Because they run out too quickly! My fiancé and kids will not stop asking me to make more! I used jiff pb and nestle choc which worked fine but I may try to put powdered sugar to thicken the pb like a previous commenter said. Seems like u have to freeze the pb long and it still got gooey when I started putting the chocolate on top. Anyhoo, Thanks for this recipe!
Question.. does it have to be creamy pb? We prefer the crunchy kind 🙂
