Come to think of it, I can prepare for a catering job for 50
and have it change to 130 overnight and have it
turn out perfectly–(true story!)–
but I cannot master the baby products!
I may never get to be a pro at the baby gear but I seem to make up for it in the kitchen 🙂 I’m sharing a great little goody recipe today for you to make for the holidays. They’re really quick and easy and oh, so impressive!
Santa Baby’s
2 sleeves of Ritz Crackers
Rolos
White and Milk Chocolate
Peanut Butter
Lay crackers on jelly roll pan.
Place 1 Rolo candy on each cracker.
Place in oven for about 3 minutes on 350 degrees
and remove from oven.
Spread a small amount of peanut butter on each
cracker in the next sleeve.
Place on the Rolo topped cracker, pushing down gently,
so that the good stuff does not squeeze out of the sides.
You can let them cool so the center will be set or you can place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave.
I melt in 20 seconds increments and stir well.
If you do not melt slowly, the chocolate will get thick and grainy.
If this happens, you can add a small amount of vegetable oil
and stir well until thin and glossy.
Dip each cracker half in the chocolate and let harden on wax paper or you can put back in refrigerator to harden quickly.
Melt the milk chocolate as per the directions above,
and dip the other half.
Repeat the hardening process.
You can certainly just dip them in one
chocolate or the other of your choice.
You can make them extra fancy and add some sprinkles or
just drizzle the chocolate on–the possibilities are endless! 🙂
The yummy ingredients:
Lay the crackers on your baking sheet…
Open those beautiful Rolo’s…
Top each cracker with one candy and place in a 350 degree
oven for 3 minutes…
Mmmmm….
Spread a little of the yumminess on each cracker…
Top each melty Rolo with the peanut butter cracker
and push down gently…
Let them cool until fully set or you can refrigerate
them about 30 minutes to speed up the process…
Look at that ooey, gooey, goodness!!
Melt your chocolate slowly in the microwave…20 seconds at a time and stir well…if it gets grainy, add some vegetable oil…
It should look smooth and velvety like so…
Dip 1/2 of the cracker in the chocolate…
It doesn’t have to be perfect 🙂
Let harden on the wax paper or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process..
Next, melt the milk chocolate…
And dip the other half of the cracker.
You’ll place them on the wax paper to harden completely.
You’ll end up with these unbelievably outrageous treats to serve at your parties this season or give away as homemade gifts.
