I found this recipe a long time ago at Faith's Firm Foundations, a blog by Wendy. She's super sweet with a real passion for helping women fulfill their God-given roles. It's been so long since I found this recipe that I couldn't even find it on her blog. I'll keep trying, though, and if I do, I'll share the link here.
Anyhoo, until then, here's how it goes:
Ingredients:
15 graham crackers, split in half
creamy peanut butter
1 bag chocolate chips
2 T. shortening
*The good thing about this recipe is that their really is no exact measurements. It's all "about", which drives Type-A personalities (like Jamie) stark raving mad.
Directions:
1) Make peanut butter sandwiches with the split graham crackers. I try to make sure the peanut butter is not oozing out too much because a) it drives me batty, b) it makes the peanut butter not mix with the chocolate when coating and c) it turns out smoother and prettier in the end. But of course, that's Type-A Jamie. If you want bumpy edges, hey, that's completely up to you. {shudder}
2) Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 30 second intervals. It really doesn't take long. Beware! This is when your mouth will start watering, so be sure to have papertowels or a hankie ready.
3) Drop a sandwich into your chocolate and completely coat.
4) Place on wax-paper-covered cookie sheet. Slap those grabby hands away because they need to set, darlin'!
5) Freeze for about 2 hours or until youjustcan'tstanditanymore!
Wait! How did this lone treat miss the scavengers?!
Oh, no! What should a mama do?
Problem solved.
*These are a great, kid-friendly treat for any holiday. I like to put sprinkles on them (y'know like hearts or red, white and blue sprinkles) just to keep it fun.
