Don't they look delicious? That's because they are! Ritz, as my family calls them, have been part of the Pavlock family cookie tray since I can remember having Christmas cookies. It wasn't until I had moved away from home and made these that my friend said, "they're like Tag-A-Longs," the delicious peanut buttery cookie the Girl Scouts tempt you with every year. She was right, I had just never called them that, and I still don't. To me, they will always be Ritz, but they can be whatever you want to call them.These "cookies" are extremely easy to make, they take less than an hour from start to finish. Enjoy!
Ritz (Tag-A-Longs)
60 Ritz crackers
2 1-lb bags milk chocolate Make 'N Mold candy coating (available at A.C. Moore and Michaels)
Creamy peanut butter
1. Line 2 cookie sheets with wax paper. This will make it easier to peel the "cookies" off the sheets once they are set.
2. Spread peanut butter on Ritz crackers. Use enough peanut butter to cover the crackers but not too much or they will be difficult to cover with chocolate.
3. Melt candy coating according to directions on package.
4. One at a time drop each peanut butter covered cracker in chocolate, turning until completely covered. Place covered cracker on cookie sheet to set. Repeat until all crackers are covered and let them set. To speed up the process crackers can be placed in the refrigerator or freezer until chocolate coating is firm.
