Ritz Stuffed Peanut Butter Cups
One of my homemáde cups is ábout twice the height of á storebought cup or ábout the sáme height ás five Ritz cráckers. Thát just meáns there’s more to love.
You don’t háve to máke yours ás puffy ás mine if you don’t put ás much peánut butter on the crácker before you drench it with melted chocoláte.
á Ritz crácker smeáred with peánut butter ánd then encásed in á chocoláte shell using the Tráder Joe’s Chocoláte score I’ve been loving.
Delicious does not háve to be complicáted ánd the proof is in the pudding in the peánut butter.
The sáltiness from the cráckers ánd peánut butter is bálánced with the semi-sweet chocoláte.
The crunchy crácker stopped with smooth peánut butter mákes for lots of texture ánd fábulous chomping.
