i gave this last minute gift idea last year.
however i realized, in looking back through my blog, i haven't shown any of my favorite treats that i love to give out.
i hope to share some of them with you this week.
today's treat is a new one for me.
it's pretty much a glorified reese's {YUM}
and it's so stinkin' easy.
which is mandatory for me.
you need 3 ingredients {and you probably already have these in your pantry}.
ritz crackers
chocolate chips {or white chocolate if you're sassy}
peanut butter
*optional: sprinkles
1. pour a bag o' chocolate chips into an oven safe bowl at 300-ish so they can start melting.
2. slap some peanut butter between two ritz....top sides facing each other.
3. check the chocolate chips every so often and give them a stir.
4. when the chocolate is melted and your cracker sandwiches are ready, you drop them in, one at a time and turn them around with your fork until they're nice & coated.
5. lift out the chocolate covered peanut butter sandwich with your fork, tap the fork on the side of your bowl a few times to let the excess chocolate drip down.
6. slide them onto some wax {or parchment} paper
7. while they're still wet, shake on some fun sprinkles.
i used pink, red, white & lime green sprinkles.
8. put them in the freezer for a few minutes so that the chocolate will harden.
9. if you can control yourself and not eat them all on the spot, pop them in some christmas cello bags and you have a super cute & sweet gift!
enjoy! let me know if you try these. :)
Those are some of my favorite cookies! I also love them in the white almond bark as well! Might make some of them this week for Santa! ;)

ReplyDeleteThese are my grandma's specialty. My mouth is watering just reading this.

ReplyDeletethese are even better with nutella in the middle instead of peanut butter...

ReplyDeleteI have a child with allergies, but this is one that I can modify to make for him. Yay! What fun! Praying for you, Sara. You will get settled in. It sounds like you are still having fun in the midst of your craziness.
ReplyDeleteI just had to tell you that I made a batch of these little yummies last night...my hubby and kids are in love! (Okay, me too...I may have had two so far -- or five). Mmmmmm....
