Ingredients

  • 100 round buttery salted crackers such as Ritz
  • 1-1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
  • 24 oz. chocolate/white almond bark

Instructions

  • Place about a 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on a cracker and spread out depending on the ratio of peanut butter to crack and chocolate you desire.
  • Top with another cracker. Repeat process until all crackers are gone.
  • Melt almond bark in a double boiler until all lumps are out. If you don’t have a double boiler you can do this in the microwave, making sure to stir frequently so it doesn’t scorch. It just doesn’t harden up if you use the double boiler.
  • Drop a sandwich cookie into the chocolate. Make sure it’s covered, then remove with a fork. Drag fork along the edge of the double boiler to scrape of excess almond bark. Place cookie on wax paper. Repeat until all cookies have been dipped.
  • Place in container and store in air tight container. These also freeze great! Place wax paper between the layers of cookies.

Notes

  • Make sure you use Chocolate Almond Bark and not melted Chocolate Chips! Chocolate Chips seize and are harder work with. Almond Bark melts perfectly and makes this super easy! It also hardens up nicely and doesn’t melt when sitting out.
  • Using a double boiler to melt your almond bark keeps it warm so you can take your time making these. Microwaving the almond bark works too, you just have to work quicker as it cools and hardens.
  • If you don’t have a double boiler it’s easy to create one using a saucepan and heat-proof bowl.
  • Add a little shortening to the almond bark when you melt it to make it a little thinner. This will get you a nice, smooth cookie!
  • Sprinkle the tops with sea salt or Christmas sprinkles!
  • If you are in a hurry put them into the freezer for 20 minutes to set the chocolate.
  • Store cookies in the freezer for up to three months if you want to make them ahead of time.
