Chocolate Covered Cracker Sandwiches

This is one of those basic, simple recipes that you make just because you happen to have chocolate coating and crackers and peanut butter and want something fast and easy and sweet. It's hardly a recipe at all, actually, but I'll post it anyway because it's yummy and I took pictures.

Chocolate Covered Cracker Sandwiches
Crackers (usually Ritz, but I used saltines this time)
Peanut Butter (creamy works best, I used crunchy because I realized that I had two jars of crunchy peanut butter open at the same time, oops)
Chocolate coating, aka almond bark (you can use chocolate or vanilla, or even colorful candy melts)

Spread about a teaspoon of peanut butter on half of the crackers, and top each with another cracker to make a sandwich. Melt almond bark (add a little shortening if you need to thin it). Using tongs and/or a fork, dip each sandwich in almond bark and tap off the excess. Place on wax paper or foil until chocolate has hardened.

I usually have a little chocolate coating left in the bowl when I'm done dipping stuff. I like to mix in stuff, like nuts or pretzels, and spread it out on wax paper or foil for a little extra treat so as not to waste any of the chocolate. This time I used raisins. Yummy!


You can adjust amounts for however many you want to make. I made 16 sandwiches and used six squares of chocolate coating. Optionally, you can fancy these up by drizzling a contrasting chocolate on top, or topping the crackers with sprinkles immediately after dipping them. I left them plain and unadulterated this time.
