1/2 cup JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme
1/3 cup PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter
1 pkg. (8 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
2 Tbsp. PLANTERS Lightly Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • On parchment paper, place 12 crackers, face down. In a small microwavable bowl, combine the marshmallow creme and peanut butter. Microwave on HIGH 15 sec.; stir until well blended. Place in resealable plastic bag and snip off 1 corner. Pipe about 1 Tbsp. of the mixture onto each cracker. Top with the 12 remaining crackers.

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half
1 onion, chopped
½ cup cubed Cheddar cheese
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 cup water
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a large skillet and cook chicken until no longer pink; remove and reserve.
  • In a food processor, add onion to puree, then add cheese to puree. Add chicken and puree a final time.
  • In a large bowl, add flour and make a well in the center. Add eggs and mix well; add water and adjust with flour and water as needed. Dough should be elastic, but not sticky.
  • In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and add one tablespoon of water. On a floured surface, roll out dough until it is 1/4 inch thick or almost paper thin. Cut out 2 inch circles and brush with egg and water mixture. Place 1 teaspoon of stuffing in the middle of the circle and fold over. Seal the half moon by crimping the edge.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add half moons and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until al dente; drain and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even strips. This will help the half-moons to bake evenly.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the half-moons tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • If you don't have a fluted pastry wheel, you can use a knife to score the edges of the half-moons.
  • Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the half-moons. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Watch the half-moons closely while they are baking. They can burn easily.

Conclusion:

Ritz half-moons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious cookies at home.
