Honorable Mention: Peanut Butter Cookies

HONORABLE MENTION

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Submitted by Patricia Georgeff of Miamisburg

INGREDIENTS

24 Ritz crackers

1 jar peanut butter (JIF recommended, creamy or crunchy)

1 package white or chocolate bark for coating

DIRECTIONS

1. Spread peanut butter (approximately 1 teaspoon) between 2 Ritz crackers. Set aside.

2. In a small microwaveable bowl, melt two pieces of bark at a time. Stir until all melted about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

3. Dip crackers into melted bark. Place on wax paper until set.

Makes 1 dozen

Judges note: These treats are simple, yet delicious and reminded us of Nutty Bars. This is a great no-bake recipe for young cookie makers, too, that they could also decorate with sprinkles, etc., for the holidays.
