Cute Non-Pumpkin Ritz Jack O' Lantern Cookies

Submitted by MinnMomof2

"These are really cute I made them for a Halloween party with the nutter butter ghosts. The original recipe calls for Oreo's or ChipsAhoy which I didn't have in the house so I improvised. Pretty well anything round that tastes good covered in almond bark would be tasty:) This came from a pdf from Kraft I believe."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 cookie
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 2 Ritz crackers
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons peanut butter
• 1 -2 1 -2 ounce white chocolate or 1 -2 ounce orange candy melts
• orange food coloring, and
• red food coloring
• food coloring (pens or decorator gel)
• green sprinkles

directions

1. Sandwich peanut butter between crackers.
2. Melt almond bark.
3. Add 1 drop each of red and yellow food coloring and stir.
4. *** NOTE!= Beware! I have done this in the past with no problems but the most recent batch of almond bark began seizing on me so I had to add solid shortening, melt, and stir. Each brand is different! I used the orange candy melts to avoid this next.
5. Dip crackers let dry on waxed paper-repeat for more.
6. Before they dry I draw 2 curved lines from so they look like this ( ) to make it resemble a pumpkin.
7. While still wet stick a green sprinkle (you could use anything else to make the stem too such as cut gumdrop).
8. Draw jack-o-lantern face on with gel or food coloring pen. Enjoy!
9. Great for the kids!
