Like many people, Olivia and I make Christmas goodies to share with friends and family. Aside from the usual cookies and fudge, this is a beautiful and delicious variation on a cookie. The recipe comes from www.allrecipes.com. It is pretty, sturdy for packaging, and very yummy. It makes a nice addition to your treat plate because it can be decorated with the sprinkles of your choice or you could even embellish with colored candy coating drizzled over the top. Be creative and make it fun. You will love the taste, the crunch, and the fun. Enjoy that holiday treat making!

Ingredients
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 pounds vanilla flavored confectioner's coating
80 buttery round crackers such as Ritz
2 1/4 ounces of colored candy sprinkles
Melt chocolate-flavored almond bark OR vanilla candy coating in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Reduce heat and keep chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water.Place 1 teaspoon peanut butter on each of half of the crackers. Top with remaining crackers to make peanut butter "sandwiches".- Dip each cracker "sandwich" in chocolate, allowing excess to drain back into pot.
- Place coated crackers on wax paper to cool. Sprinkle with multi-colored sprinkles or other holiday decoration. Allow coating to completely set, placing in refrigerator for 15 minutes, if necessary. Store between layers of wax paper in cool, dry place, or refrigerate. These also freeze well.
