>Snack Attack: Easy-Chocolate-Covered-Peanut-Buttery-Goodstuff
>
If we’re going to be friends, there’s something you should know about me. I’m a chocoholic. I have a raging, untamable, out-of-control sweet tooth and I’m pretty shameless about it. {My husband doesn’t share my affinity for sweets, but it doesn’t stop me from baking like it’s my job, because well… more for me}.
If you love dessert more than you love shoes, we’re soul sisters.
This little sweet and savory recipe is super easy, and you only need three ingredients and the most basic of kitchen skills. In fact, I don’t even think you can call it a “recipe.” If you can make a PBJ and you know how to properly dunk an Oreo, you’ve got this one in the bag.
Read more for the scoop.
Ritz crackers (or similar salted rounds)
Peanut Butter
Semi-sweet chocolate (I prefer Ghirardelli baking bars, but chips work, too!)
Spread peanut butter on a cracker, then smoosh it into a lovely little PB cracker sandwich.
Easy so far, right?
Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring between each to prevent scorching.
Are you still with me?
Now… drop the cracker sandwich into the chocolate. And flip it over to cover the other side.
Hope no one’s feeling too overwhelmed at this point.
Fish it out with a fork and let the excess chocolate drip off (or don’t, it’s whatever) and lay them on a sheet of foil or wax paper. Then pop them in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
Even husband knocked a few of these back {shhh… don’t tell him I told you.}

>I eat WAY too much chocolate, so naturally these are going on my must-make-soon list. The best part is how easy they look! And the worst part… I fear how quickly they will get eaten!
