CHOCOLATE CRUNCH COOKIES WITH PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. Get out a big bowl and place your crackers in one bowl and have another big bowl to place your finished crackers. You will spread the peanut butter on the top of the cracker and place them together with the bottom (flat side of cracker) facing out.
• 2. Be generous with the peanut butter but do not have peanut butter globing out on the outside of crackers. I also tend to use generic brands of snack crackers because they do not break as easy as the Ritz. Although the Ritz taste delish!
• 3. Melt down your candy chocolate in a double boiler pan or in microwave. Get out a small pair of tongs the kind you would use to flip hot dogs or burgers on the grill. Now dip your crackers into the chocolate and then tap the side of the bowl with your tongs to get off the excess chocolate and place cookie on wax paper. Sprinkle or drizzle chocolate on top for whatever festive occasion you are making them for.
• 4. Now, at Christmas time I will make these dipped in mint chocolate and they taste very close to Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies. I always bag up the mint cookies so that the mint flavor doesn't get on any other cookies.
• 5. Oct. 27th, 2012 ---Melanie B's made a version for Halloween and here is a pic of them. She placed candy corns on top and they are adorable.
• 6. I love the orange flavored chocolate with drizzled dark chocolate on top or any kind of sprinkles or candies.

• 8. I also have several friends that dipped white chocolate is their favorite.
• 9. 4-13-13 --- These are a great cookie/candy to make for bake sales or any fundraising event that includes baked goods. I just recently made 10 1/2 dozen of these and broke them up into little bags with 4 cookies each. I made tags for them and wrapped a pretty purple ribbon around them and sold them for $1.00 each. I had 32 bags to sell for my Aunt Linda's benefit and they all went.
• 10. 4-13-13 ---I also dipped in semi-sweet chocolate and then topped with mini M & M's and green sugar sprinkles.
• 11. 4-13-13 --- Here is a basketful of 32 bags of cookies ready to go to the bake sale.
