I don’t know why this idea never occurred to me before! This is the easiest, most satisfying dessert I’ve ever made. It literately took Kala and me 15 minutes to do everything!
The messiest part is digging your knife in the peanut butter jar, being that I eat a LOT of peanut butter and the jar is almost always empty. 
Hehe!
I read a quote today from our nations 20th president, James A. Garfield:
“Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter.”
Well, here’s your bread, peanut butter…and a bonus: chocolate!
Super Easy Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cracker Cookies
inspired by Stephanie Frick
Ingredients
- Town House Light Buttery Crackers (or buttery cracker of your choice, I chose this one because it was low in fat, calories and sodium….and didn’t contain high fructose corn syrup, a.k.a. the enemy)
- Natural creamy peanut butter (I use Skippy because you don’t have to refrigerate it)
- Ghirardelli 60% cacao chocolate chips
How-To
- Spread peanut butter on one side of the crackers.
- Place a cracker on top of the peanut butter to make a peanut butter cracker sandwich.
- Melt the chocolate chips on a double boiler (in a glass bowl on top of simmering water in a pot).
- Dip the peanut butter crackers in the chocolate and place on parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil.
- Place in the refrigerator to harden.
- Eat either chilled or at room temperature.

Yup, way too good and way too easy to make. I’ve had to stop making these b/c I can’t control myself around them
I know! They went like hot cakes at my house! I don’t even want to know how many my husband ate.
so delicious! i am seriously in love with your blog!
Aww…thank you Christina! I love yours too! I follow you on my RSS feed.
I read that same quote yesterday…Real Simple.
And I die. I want one of those. Now. And it’s only 9:30am.
Haha…yep! Well, it’s kind of like breakfast: bread, peanut butter (protein)…and what’s a little chocolate? You eat chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.
Wow! This is really so easy it’s dangerous knowledge.
Indeed. So easy and soooo delicious.
Well, besides my mom, who when she took a bite out of it said, ‘Eww, is this dark chocolate?!?’…she’s a pure milk chocolate fan. But, I just love the dark chocolate (plus all the ‘better for you’ qualities). 
Oh my goodness!! If it’s not dark, it shouldn’t be considered chocolate!!
These are delicious! My sister-in-law makes them at the holidays and they’re devoured in no time! Beautiful pics!!!
Thank you Jennifer! So good.
I love how simple these are! I am totally a peanut butter addict, so these are right up my alley! Thanks for sharing and lovely pictures.
You’re so welcome Vicki! I have to have a little peanut butter everyday and these are just the trick!
My mom made these this year for Christmas cookies. I loved them!
Lucky! They are so easy, which is a good thing, because they go fast!
My children and I make these with white chocolate and LOVE them-it never occurred to me to try them with milk or dark chocolate! We’ll give this a try this weekend!
Oooo! I bet it’d be great with white chocolate. I’m a dark chocoholic myself and these are just the ticket.
What a delicious treat!
Indeed! And so easy!
Oooo…I’ve had these before! They are so easy but so, so good.
agreed. So good!
Oh, those look positively DANGEROUS. I must make them immediately.
Haha! Very Dangerous.
I had a good giggle at the digging your knife in the PB jar being messy. This morning I actually got my hands all covered in PB trying to scoop out the last bit for my morning oats.
Awesome. That happens to me all the time. I love peanut butter!
OMG These look absolutely gorgeous!! And ridiculously easy to make.. I’m sure making them, cuz I’m somehow in love with peanut butter, also in love with chocolate.. But the combination of both drives me crazy!!
Greets!
Great minds think alike! I too am in love with pb & chocolate…and together they are Amazing!
I think I improved on these. On one cracker I put peanut butter and on the other I put marshmallow fluff.
Sandwiched them, then dipped in the melted chocolate.
To die for !
Oh my. I’m going to have to try that! My husband is crazy about marshmallow fluff and he would go crazy for those.
These are really good made with pretzels too!
Yum! I’ll have to try that! Thanks Teresa!
These looks SO good! Your pictures are fab!
Thanks Alison!
Wow. Your food looks just amazing. We’d love to see your stuff posted at dishfolio.com!
Thank you! And thank you for sharing dishfolio with me. I’ll definitely be submitting my posts to your site!
Amazing. They look just like those girl scout cookies that I die for every year.
Haha…they sure do! And girl scout cookies will be here before we know it! Yum!
We LOVE these. They are SOOO good. I’ve got to try the dark chocolate next time. Bet that will be even better.
Oh yeah. Dark chocolate is sooo good.
Just stumbled upon this recipe on Tasteologie and made a batch tonight, using Ritz-type crackers and buttery crackers, both milk and dark versions. Mmmm so good!
Yum!!! I’m so glad you found me on Tasteologie! I first had these when they were made with Ritz crackers and they were delicious. I’m so glad that you made them and enjoyed them!
O my gosh…this is either pure genius, or pure evil! Genius when I eat them, and evil on my thighs, I guess. Seriously? Cannot WAIT to try these. Damn!
Haha!
I need these in my life!! They look amazing! Your blog is fabulous!
Haha..i know! Chocolate + Peanut butter is a weekly essential (or daily if you’re like me).
Thank you so much Val!
