Materials

Baking sheet

Parchment or waxed paper

Optional, disposable spoons and paper plates.

Directions

1. Melt your choice of chocolate in the microwave.
2. Drop the cracker into the melted chocolate. I put two crackers in a time.
3. Swirl the chocolate around the cracker.
4. Carefully bring the cracker out of the melted chocolate.
5. Set on the parchment or wax paper.
6. Let cool and set about 10-15 minutes.
7. Clean off the extra chocolate around the bottom edge of the cracker.
8. For quicker setting, pop the crackers into the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Assembly Tips!

I have made the copycat Girl Scout Peanut Butter Patties both ways: using pre made crackers or assembling my own peanut butter patties by making a sandwich of Ritz crackers and peanut butter.

If you choose to make your own definitely use a generous portion of peanut butter for the middle of the sandwich.

I also use disposable spoons and paper plates when making the cookies as the assembly can be a smidge messy and since I want a quick clean up to go with this Hack then disposable is the way to go!

Any size of cracker will work from the full size Ritz cracker to a mini cracker. Flexible, fun and easy!
