Chocolate Cracker Cookies

Because I have two 4 year olds, I am always on the look out for recipes that they would be able to help me with easily.  Sometimes it’s easier said and done, but I ran across this one in a Taste of Home Magazine and added an extra ingredient so all three of us had a job to do.

I wasn’t sure how the crackers would do with the chocolate, but they are surprisingly very good. It gives the cookie a wonderful crunch before you get hit with the peanut butter marshmallow-y goodness. And of course anything dipped in chocolate is going to be delicious. Add a few green or red sprinkles and you have festive addition to your cookie jar or a great gift for teachers, friends and family.

Chocolate Cracker Cookies

adapted from Taste of Home

96 Ritz crackers

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup marshamllow creme

1 cup mini marshmallows

2 pounds semi-sweet chocolate chips

Christmas sprinkles

One half of crackers spread some peanut butter and top with 3 marshmallows.

On the other crackers, spread some marshmallow creme.

Sandwich the crackers together so that you have a peanut butter marshmallow cracker sandwich.

Melt your chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler on the stove. Dip each cracker sandwich into the chocolate and cover completely.

Set on a pan lined with wax paper. Top each cookie with sprinkles and refrigerate for an hour.

Serve and Enjoy!
