Preparation Method
-
Start by spreading a small amount of peanut butter onto one cracker. Top it with another cracker to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining crackers and peanut butter, then place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
-
Melt the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. If desired, add the vegetable oil or shortening to help achieve a glossy finish.

Using a fork, dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
-
Place the coated crackers back onto the parchment-lined tray. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with chopped peanuts.
-
Allow the crackers to set at room temperature, or refrigerate them for about 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully firm.
Serving Suggestion
Serve these treats once the chocolate has completely set. They pair beautifully with coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk and make a wonderful addition to dessert trays or gift boxes.
