Cookies
- 12 oz Vanilla Almond Bark
- 30 Ritz Crackers (approximately)
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (approximately)
- 15 Miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, cut in half
Decorations
- Variety of colored sanding sugars or candies to decorate
Instructions
- Melt the almond bark: Melt the vanilla almond bark according to the package directions, either in the microwave or using a double boiler, until smooth and fully melted.
- Prepare the peanut butter crackers: Spread a layer of peanut butter evenly on one Ritz cracker, then top it with another cracker to form a sandwich.
- Coat with almond bark: Dip or spoon the melted almond bark over each peanut butter sandwich until fully covered, then place the coated cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Decorate: While the almond bark is still wet, quickly press half of a miniature Reese’s peanut butter cup onto the top of each cookie so it adheres. Sprinkle with colored sanding sugars or other candies for festive decoration.
- Cool and set: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the almond bark hardens completely. Once set, transfer the cookies to a serving plate or storage container.
Notes
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute peanut butter with any nut or seed butter if desired.
- Decorate with any candies or sprinkles of your choice to suit different holiday themes.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
