On Valentine’s Day everyone needs chocolate, right? What about a homemade chocolate treat? It would be great for your sweetheart, teacher, mother, or just about anyone you love. This is one of Aunt Alisa’s go-to treats, and they’re always a fan favorite. She describes them as a Reese’s cup, but much better. Keep them cold as long as possible before serving, because it makes them taste even better.
Ingredients
- 1 – 13.7-ounce Ritz cracker box
- no more than a 16-ounce jar peanut butter
- 24 ounces chocolate almond bark
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.
- Place ½-1 tablespoon peanut butter on Ritz cracker.
- Spread to desired thickness.
- Top with another cracker to create a sandwich.
- Place on prepared pan.
- Repeat until crackers are gone. (You can layer the sandwiches with parchment paper between each layer.)
- Place in freezer overnight to allow the peanut butter to harden.
- Keep a prepared pan out so that you can place the dipped sandwiches on it to allow the chocolate bark to harden.
- Melt almond bark in double boiler.
- Drop each sandwich cookie into the almond bark making sure to completely coat.
- Use tongs to remove each sandwich. (Shake off excess chocolate.)
- Place each one, in a single layer, on the prepared pan as you are done and let them set until they are hardened.
- You may have a few sandwiches left when the chocolate is gone depending on how thick the chocolate is on the cookies. Aunt Alisa either saves the sandwiches for another time or melts a few more blocks of chocolate bark.
- Once hardened, store in airtight container.
