#1899 - Chocolate Covered Ritz Crackers

(by Shirley McNevich)

1lb. Baker's baking chocolate (milk chocolate, white chocolate or dark chocolate--your choice)
1 box Ritz Crackers
1 jar Jif smooth peanut butter

Using a knife, place a layer of peanut butter in between two Ritz crackers. Repeat with as many crackers as you wish. In a double boiler, melt your choice of baking chocolate. Use a slotted spoon to dip each Ritz cracker sandwich in the melted chocolate. Let any extra chocolate drip back into the double boiler, then lay the dipped cracker sandwich carefully on wax paper. Continue with all sandwiches. Let sandwiches cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold. Keep refrigerated. Variation: when making each sandwich, lay the end of a tooth pick on the peanut butter before adding the top cracker. Use the toothpick to dip the sandwich in the melted chocolate, then carefully remove the toothpick after setting the sandwich on wax paper.
