Frightfully Easy Halloween Treats

Frightfully Easy Halloween Treats

This ultra sweet treat is a cross between a cookie and candy. They’re perfect for school Halloween parties.

Recipe

• 2 sleeves Ritz-style crackers
• Creamy peanut butter
• 1 12-ounce bag white chocolate chips
• 1 12-ounce bag semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Crisco shortening
• Decorative icings, orange and yellow
• Green gumdrops, cut in half

Spread peanut butter on 32 crackers and cover with another cracker, sandwich style. Melt chocolate chips separately in a double boiler with one tablespoon shortening per bag. (This also can be accomplished in a microwave oven on very low heat, stirring at one-minute intervals.) Dip the peanut butter crackers in the chocolate to coat evenly. Set aside on waxed paper. When chocolate is firm, decorate with icings and gumdrops.
