Tips
Variation
Instead of spreading the melted chocolate onto the tops of the cracker sandwiches, dip half of each cracker sandwich, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Return to baking sheet. Decorate with icing as directed. Or, leave the cracker sandwiches undecorated for ease – they are still delicious!
Variation
Omit the icing. Prepare recipe as directed; top evenly with 1 Tbsp. colored sprinkles using the colors of your favorite sports team.
Variation
Omit the pretzel squares. Place 12 crackers, top sides down, in single layer on baking sheet; spread with all the peanut butter mixture, adding about 1 tsp. peanut butter mixture to each cracker. Cover with remaining crackers, top sides up; press gently into peanut butter mixture to secure. Top with melted chocolate and decorate with icing as directed.
