Ingredients

2 ½ Sleeves Butter Ritz Crackers
1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
24 oz. Chocolate Almond Bark 24 oz. package
⅓ Cup Red and Green Candy Melts (optional)

Instructions

Pour the dark chocolate and the milk chocolate into a melting pot and turn it on to melt the chocolate while you prepare the crackers.
Next, make the peanut butter crackers peanut butter sandwich style.
Spread a generous amount of creamy peanut butter on one cracker and place another cracker on top of the peanut butter.
Place each sandwich cookie on a small cookie sheet. Stacking them up is fine.
Put the Ritz cracker sandwiches in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in the melted chocolate.
For easy dipping, I use a sturdy plastic fork and break out the center prongs.
Dip each peanut butter ritz in the melted chocolate and let the excess chocolate drip off.
Place the dipped crackers on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper to cool and harden.
If you want a more festive look, then melt some red and/or green candy melts and drizzle them over the cooled chocolate-dipped peanut butter ritz.
White chocolate could be drizzled in place of colored candy melts.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature, in the fridge, or in the freezer. Any way you choose is fine!

Notes

These freeze extremely well and keep in the freezer for several months.
