Chocolate Coated Cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
- 2 pounds chocolate almond bark, broken into pieces
- 80 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)
- 2 ¼ ounces colored candy sprinkles (Optional)
-
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon peanut butter onto each cracker half. Press peanut butter sides together to form 40 peanut butter-filled sandwich cookies.
-
Melt almond bark in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Reduce heat and keep melted chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water.
-
Dip each sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drain back into pot.
-
Place coated cookies onto waxed paper and immediately sprinkle with candy sprinkles so they adhere to the melted chocolate.
-
Place cookies in the refrigerator until chocolate has set, about 15 minutes.
Tips
You can substitute vanilla-flavored candy coating for the chocolate almond bark, and decorate with any type of candy coatings instead of sprinkles.
