Puttin On The Ritz Snack Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Spread about a teaspoon of peanut butter on 1 sleeve of crackers.
• 2. Top with the other sleeve of crackers.
• 3. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and Crisco. Stir several times to blend well. You may need to microwave for a couple seconds in between when dipping the crackers to keep the chocolate soft.
• 4. Dip crackers, covering well and place on cookie sheets covered with wax paper. ( I then sprinkled with some chopped pecans.) Chill to set and store in air tight containers. Note: I find that using clean fingers to swirl on the chocolate works well. Also, kids and big kids, love to join in the fun...as they get to lick off their fingers when done...lol!

Steps:

• Cook dates, milk and pecans until thick.
• Line crackers on cookie sheet.
• Put a dollop of mixture on each cracker.
• Bake 350 for 20 to 30 mins and cool.
• Mix powdered sugar, butter and cream cheese together,top each cracker with this mixture.
• Put in fridge until set.
• Makes 38 crackers.

Steps:

• 1. Cook pecans, dates and milk over low heat until thick. Cool. Put a spoonful on each cracker. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 8 min. at 350 degrees. Cool.
• 2. ICING: Mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla and confectioner's sugar until smooth. Blend well. Ice every cracker. I make one stripe down each cracker. This makes them look prettier but you will have some icing left-over. I also rather use Town House Original Topper crackers because they have an indentation on top.
