Ingredients

  • 60 Butter Crackers
  • 1 pound quality chocolate *see note

  • Place 1 pound quality chocolate into a shallow heat-glass bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until creamy and smooth. Alternatively, place the glass bowl over a pot of simmering water over medium-low heat and melt until smooth, stirring frequently.

  • Working one at a time, place a peanut butter sandwich cracker on a fork, dip into the melted chocolate, and then gently tap the fork on side of bowl to shake excess off. Place the cookie on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes

Chocolate: Use dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or milk chocolate. You can opt to use chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, or a chocolate bar cut into bite-size pieces.
Dairy Free Option: Use dairy free chocolate chips  and these Organic organic butter crackers--they are actually dairy free!
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free butter crackers.
Storage: Once set up, store the peanut butter cracker cookies in a sealed container in a cool place, for up to 5 days. Alternatively, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. They can also be frozen in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 1 month. Keep in mind that if refrigerated or frozen, the chocolate may become discolored (a bit cloudy) but they will still taste delicious.
