Instructions
- Preparation Of Patriotic Peanut Butter Patties
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Melt your chocolate or melting candy either in a microwave or double boiler. I find the microwave works just fine for this recipe.Of course melting chocolate in the microwave can be slightly testy - use moderation and start with 30 second increments depending upon the strength of your microwave and amount of chocolate.
- Dip each cookie in the chocolate. Lay on parchment paper.
- Decorate with sprinkles. For the patriotic theme I used red white and blue sprinkles.
- Put tray into refrigerator to set, 10 - 15 minutes is usually sufficient.
- Remove, store and enjoy! That's it!
- If using buttery crackers and peanut butter. Use a generous amount of peanut butter between each cracker and put together assembly line style to save time.
- After all the Tagalongs are assemble, dip each into melted chocolate.
- Set for at least 10 minutes or put into refrigerator for a quick set.
Notes
To add a little presentation, I used plastic mini pedestal cups I had on hand which I purchased as the dollar store.
Ritz crackers and peanut butter is used instead of a packaged peanut butter cookie. Simply make peanut butter sandwiches with the Ritz and peanut butter, experience yields that one can be very generous with the peanut butter.
