Ingredients

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
60 Ritz crackers
24 ounces white candy coating, melted
60 miniature marshmallows
30 mini Ritz crackers
Blue chocolate M&M's
Black sugar pearls
Black decorating icing, optional

Directions

Spread peanut butter on half of the crackers; top with remaining crackers to make sandwiches. Refrigerate until firm.
Dip sandwiches in melted candy coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper. Dip marshmallows in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place two marshmallows on top of each cookie for ears.
Dip mini crackers in melted candy coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on top of sandwiches for snouts. Top each snout with a blue M&M. Decorate with black sugar pearls for eyes and, if desired, use black decorating icing for mouths. Let stand until set. Refrigerate cookies in an airtight container.

Test Kitchen Tips

Nutella and cookie butter are delicious substitutes for peanut butter.

Take these from the North Pole to the North Woods by dipping them in milk or dark chocolate candy coating. Makes for a cute camping treat!
