chocolate crunch cookies with peanut butter
Alright, if there is a cookie that I have made thousands and thousands of it is this cookie. I was first introduced to them when I hosted my first cookie exchange about 15 years ago. My friend Terri from work told me she was bringing these cookies and I thought they sounded unusual. Well, not only were they fantastic she ended up winning the contest for best tasting cookie. From then on I've been making them ever since. They actually help pay the way for three mission trips to Moscow, Russia.

How To Make chocolate crunch cookies with peanut butter
-
Step 1Get out a big bowl and place your crackers in one bowl and have another big bowl to place your finished crackers. You will spread the peanut butter on the top of the cracker and place them together with the bottom (flat side of cracker) facing out.
-
Step 2Be generous with the peanut butter but do not have peanut butter globing out on the outside of crackers. I also tend to use generic brands of snack crackers because they do not break as easy as the Ritz. Although the Ritz taste delish!
-
Step 3Melt down your candy chocolate in a double boiler pan or in microwave. Get out a small pair of tongs the kind you would use to flip hot dogs or burgers on the grill. Now dip your crackers into the chocolate and then tap the side of the bowl with your tongs to get off the excess chocolate and place cookie on wax paper. Sprinkle or drizzle chocolate on top for whatever festive occasion you are making them for.

Step 4Now, at Christmas time I will make these dipped in mint chocolate and they taste very close to Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies. I always bag up the mint cookies so that the mint flavor doesn't get on any other cookies.

Step 6I love the orange flavored chocolate with drizzled dark chocolate on top or any kind of sprinkles or candies.

Step 7For Easter I love to make lemon dipped cookies. This picture I attached is so festive with the green sugar sprinkles. ---My previous place of employment the men would request the lemon flavored cookies most often.

Step 8I also have several friends that dipped white chocolate is their favorite.

Step 94-13-13 --- These are a great cookie/candy to make for bake sales or any fundraising event that includes baked goods. I just recently made 10 1/2 dozen of these and broke them up into little bags with 4 cookies each. I made tags for them and wrapped a pretty purple ribbon around them and sold them for $1.00 each. I had 32 bags to sell for my Aunt Linda's benefit and they all went.

Step 104-13-13 ---I also dipped in semi-sweet chocolate and then topped with mini M & M's and green sugar sprinkles.

Step 114-13-13 --- Here is a basketful of 32 bags of cookies ready to go to the bake sale.

Step 125-10-13---Made some more cookies for "Relay For Life" weekend 24 hr walk. My friend's family have a tent every year and request donations of food and such for those who participate in the walk.
