Chocolatedippedpeanutbuttercrackersandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla, salt and egg and beat again until smooth and combined. Add the flour, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula to stir until just mixed.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out 2-inch balls of dough. Place 14 on each baking sheet. Bake, rotating halfway through, until the cookies are just set around the edges and the tops look dry, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheets. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• When the cookies are completely cool, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie and press together gently. Continue with the remaining cookies and ice cream, freezing the sandwiches as you go.

Steps:

• Spread about 1 tsp peanut butter on a Ritz, top with another cracker to form a sandwich. I like to be generous with the peanut butter, and aim for a layer about as thick as one cracker. Repeat with remaining crackers and peanut butter until you have exhausted your supply.
• Lay a sheet of parchment or waxed paper out that is large enough to place all of the cookies on.
• Warm the chocolate pieces up: I have a fondue pot so I simply pour in the chocolate, turn to high, and stir occasionally until melted. Once its all melted, reduce the heat to low. If you have a double boiler, use the same method, except heat over medium, and when its melted, remove from heat.
• - OR - In a microwave safe dish, add candy and microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well, and continue to microwave for 3-5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
• Next, dip the cookies. Its up to you if you want to dip the whole thing at once, or dip one half and let it set, and then dip the other half. It looks better if you can dip the whole thing at once. Sprinkle them fairly quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
• Allow to set for 1 hour before moving. Store in an airtight container for a week. (They may stay good longer, but we've never had them last that long :-) ).

Steps:

• Spread approximately 1 teaspoon peanut butter on each of half of the crackers. Top with remaining crackers to make peanut butter "sandwiches".
• Melt chocolate-flavored almond bark OR vanilla candy coating in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Reduce heat and keep chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water.
• Dip each cracker "sandwich" in chocolate, allowing excess to drain back into pot.
• Place coated crackers on wax paper to cool. Sprinkle with multi-colored sprinkles or other holiday decoration. Allow coating to completely set, placing in refrigerator for 15 minutes, if necessary. Store between layers of wax paper in cool, dry place, or refrigerate. These also freeze well.

Steps:

• Spread peanut butter over bread. Top with Rice Krispies and chocolate.

Steps:

• Spread peanut butter on half of the crackers; top with other half to make sandwiches. Refrigerate. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave or double boiler; dip sandwiches and place on waxed paper until chocolate hardens.

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
• Melt 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of shortening in a microwave safe bowl or big glass measuring cup. Stirring at every 20 second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
• Then dip each graham cracker half into the chocolate, tapping or gently scraping off the excess chocolate. But you want the graham cracker to be totally covered.
• Set each chocolate covered graham cracker on the cookie sheet and place in the fridge or freezer to set up quickly.
• While the chocolate covered graham crackers are setting up, make the peanut butter filling by mixing the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.
• Mix until smooth and creamy.(sometimes it just easier at the end to mix with your hands) Roll into 12 equal dough balls and chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
• Pull out the chilled chocolate covered graham crackers and peanut butter balls. Gently flatten the peanut butter balls to the size of the graham cracker and place it on the chocolate graham. Gently spread it to the edges so it's evenly distributed.
• Melt the other 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of shortening. Stirring until smooth. Gently spoon chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread around with a spoon covering the top and sides. Put back in the fridge or freezer to set up (about 15 - 20 minutes). Then pull out and drizzle left over chocolate over the top of each graham cracker.
• Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week. We like them to set at room temp for about 20 minutes before eating.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350.
• In large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, sugar and egg until smooth.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add to peanut butter mixture and beat on low.
• Take one rounded teaspoon of dough and roll into a 1-inch ball. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes until puffed (do not over bake). Let stand 2 minutes on cookie sheet and then transfer to cookie rack to cool.
• Filling: For the filling, mix together the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar. Spread 1/2 of the cookies with 1 rounded teaspoon filling on flat side of cookies. Top with remaining cookies to form a sandwich cookie.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.
• In a microwave safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips and oil for 1 minute at 100% power; stir until melted.
• Dip cookied half-way into chocolate; let excess drain off.
• Place cookies on waxed papered sheets and dizzle with remaining chocolate.
• Refrigerate to set.
• ENJOY!
