Ingredients

• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 48-60 Ritz crackers
• 12 ounces white candy melts or white chocolate chips
• rainbow nonpareils

Preparation

Step 1

Beat peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Spread about a teaspoon on half the crackers and top with the remaining crackers—pressing gently to seal.
Place sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm (about an hour).
In the top half of a double boiler, set over barely simmering water, melt the white candy melts, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Working with one sandwich at a time, dip the top half into the melted candy, allowing the excess to drip off. Immediately dip into the nonpareils, pressing gently to adhere. Return to your baking sheet to set. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Yields: 24-30 sandwiches
