Mock Tagalongs

Everyone has their favorite Girl Scout Cookie.  Mine has always been Tagalongs.  There is something about chocolate and peanut butter that is just magical.  But there are two things bad about Tagalongs: they are over $3 a box and you can only buy them once a year.  You also have to know a Girl Scout, which can be problem for college students.

Last week I was talking to a friend about our favorite holiday cookie recipes.  She mentioned how her mom always spread peanut butter on crackers and dipped them in chocolate.  In my mind that translated to "Tagalongs."  So of course I had to make them!

Mock Tagalongs

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 sleeves Ritz crackers (~35 crackers each)
1, 24 oz. pkg. chocolate almond bark

Break up the almond bark and place in a microwave safe bowl.  Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir and microwave at 1 minute intervals until smooth.  Place parchment or wax paper on a table and line with half the crackers.  Spread each cracker evenly with a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter.  Place the remaining half of crackers on top.  Using 2 forks put each cracker sandwich, one at a time, into the almond bark and cover with almond bark, shake gently to remove excess almond bark.  Return to parchment paper, cool and store in an air tight container

This is an awesome holiday serving tray my roommate owns.

This would be a great tray for serving Santa cookies.
 I'm sure he'd love some Tagalongs.

Sprinkles only improve them, right?

My roommates and I have been in a baking frenzy for the last week. 
We've made a total of  6 batches of cookies so far.
