Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Need a quick last minute treat to make for the holidays? It doesn't get much easier than this!

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

1 Box of Ritz Crackers
1 Package of Almond Bark
1 Jar of Peanut Butter

Yields approximately 70 cookies

*Other supplies: wax paper/aluminum paper, medium microwave safe bowl, knife and fork

Spread peanut butter between to Ritz crackers, set aside.. repeat 69 times (or less if you have my luck and always have at least 4 crackers broken in the package).

Melt almond bark according to package. Dip each Ritz sandwich in the melted chocolate*, place on wax paper or aluminum foil and let dry. Store cookies in an air tight container and eat. Yum! If you have ever had Tagalong Girl Scout Cookies, these taste somewhat similar. I have *heard* that these can store well for up to 2 weeks, these never last that long around here!

*If you have never used dipping chocolate before, I find it easiest to place the sandwich in the melted chocolate, lightly press down with fork until its half covered, flip and then lift it out with the fork, I lightly tap the fork (handle) on the edge of the bowl and let some of the excess chocolate drip off. Make sure all sides are covered before pulling it out and placing it on your wax paper.

A regular size box of Ritz crackers has about 140 crackers, which will give you 70 sandwiches...most of the time I have a few (or a lot!) of broken crackers. You *should* be able to use one full pack of almond bark to dip 70 cookies. If you go a little heavy on the dipping you might end up with a little less. I ended up using about half a jar of peanut butter to make these.

I waited too long to buy white chocolate this year and the stores are out around here, but I normally make some white chocolate ones with either crushed candy cane sprinkled on top and milk chocolate drizzled on top...and then some with the opposite (milk chocolate with white chocolate drizzled). You could use red and green sprinkles too...or just plain chocolate dipped are perfect!

Another easy dipping treat is white chocolate covered Oreos! Mmm Mmm...

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays

New Style, New Model!

Changes are happening! If you haven't browsed Chicy Creations shop lately, its worth taking a peek if I may say! A new style of tutus has been added, while I still love the Shabby Tutus, these shorter straight tutus are so fun!

Since my soon to be 2 year old daughter is too old to sit still, but too young to successfully bribe, it was time to invest in a new model! No more chasing around my little model with a camera (which is getting to be quite the feat being 6.5 months pregnant).


I've been having so much fun with color...

And Ribbon...


I will eventually being adding custom color tutu option listings, until I do, if you'd like a custom tutu just email or convo me for a custom listing! Chicy-Creations@hotmail.com.

Happy Holidays!
