CHOCOLATE DIPPED PEANUT BUTTER CRACKER SANDWICHES
Easy and delicious - I've been told these taste like Girl Scout cookies (which I have never tried.) My 2 year old loved helping me make them. The candy melts come in several colors, Ritz come in seasonal shapes, and they have so many cute sprinkles that you could use these for just about any occasion.

Steps:
- Spread about 1 tsp peanut butter on a Ritz, top with another cracker to form a sandwich. I like to be generous with the peanut butter, and aim for a layer about as thick as one cracker. Repeat with remaining crackers and peanut butter until you have exhausted your supply.
- Lay a sheet of parchment or waxed paper out that is large enough to place all of the cookies on.
- Warm the chocolate pieces up: I have a fondue pot so I simply pour in the chocolate, turn to high, and stir occasionally until melted. Once its all melted, reduce the heat to low. If you have a double boiler, use the same method, except heat over medium, and when its melted, remove from heat.
- - OR - In a microwave safe dish, add candy and microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well, and continue to microwave for 3-5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Next, dip the cookies. Its up to you if you want to dip the whole thing at once, or dip one half and let it set, and then dip the other half. It looks better if you can dip the whole thing at once. Sprinkle them fairly quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
- Allow to set for 1 hour before moving. Store in an airtight container for a week. (They may stay good longer, but we've never had them last that long :-) ).

Steps:
- Spread a generous dollop of peanut butter onto one side of 8 of the cracker squares, and then spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread onto one side of the other 8 squares.
- Thread the marshmallows onto 2 metal skewers and carefully toast over a flame on the stove top. Place 1 toasted marshmallow onto each of the peanut-butter-covered graham crackers. Top with the chocolate-covered crackers and sandwich together gently.
- Melt the white almond bark and milk chocolate in separate glass bowls set over simmering water. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally to keep the chocolate melted.
- When the toppings are at room temperature, one by one dip half of the sandwiches in the white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Work quickly, and then add on whatever sprinkles or toppings you'd like to use. Repeat with the remaining 4 sandwiches, dipping them in the milk chocolate and finishing with the desired toppings.
- Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Then you can store the s'mores at room temperature or in the fridge until you're ready to serve!

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
My great aunt Pat makes these cookies every year during the holidays. She always has them on hand for drop-in guests and puts them on the dessert buffet at our family Christmas Eve party. I like making multiple batches and storing them in holiday tins for gifts. Be careful, they're addictive! You might want to make an extra batch (or two).

Tips:
- Choose the right peanut butter. Use a creamy and smooth peanut butter that is not too runny or too thick. This will help the sandwich crackers hold together better when dipped in chocolate.
- Use fresh sandwich crackers. Stale sandwich crackers will not hold up well when dipped in chocolate and may break apart. Fresh sandwich crackers will also be more flavorful.
- Melt the chocolate slowly. Melting the chocolate too quickly can cause it to burn or seize up. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave on low power, stirring frequently.
- Dip the sandwich crackers completely in chocolate. This will help to ensure that the chocolate coating is even and smooth. You can use a fork or a spoon to dip the sandwich crackers in chocolate, or you can pour the chocolate over the sandwich crackers in a single layer.
- Let the chocolate-dipped sandwich crackers cool completely. This will help the chocolate to set and harden. You can place the chocolate-dipped sandwich crackers in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up the cooling process.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-dipped peanut butter sandwich crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a fun and festive snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these chocolate-dipped peanut butter sandwich crackers a try!
