Preparation

Step 1

Spread crackers out on a sheet of waxed paper. Place 1/2 cup of peanut butter in a piping bag. Pipe peanut butter on center of cracker and top with second cracker to make a sandwich. Continue until all sandwiches are put together. Let sandwiches stand for 20-25 minutes so peanut butter can set.

Meanwhile, heat white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening in microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir chocolate and continue to heat until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overheat your chocolate. Doing so will cause your chocolate to harden and become unusable.

Once chocolate is melted, dip sandwiches in chocolate and cover completely. Using a fork, lift the sandwich out of the bowl and tap the excess chocolate off the cracker. If adding embellishments to your sandwiches, add them now, while the chocolate is still wet, otherwise, they won’t stick.

Move dipped cracker to wax paper and allow to cool until completely set. To add more color, try drizzling melted candy melts across your crackers! It’s simple and adds a bit more color to your treats!
