Have you all ever thought of making your own “healthier” versions of Girl Scout Cookies? I first created these “Mock” Girl Scout Tagalong Cookies when I participated in my first Blogger Bake Sale several years ago. but I’m bringing them back this week for Flashback Friday!
My favorite part about these cookies is that they do not take long to make and you can make them in dark or milk chocolate depending on what you prefer. OH, and, then, there is tons of peanut buttery goodness in every single bite.
MOCK GIRL SCOUT TAGALONGS RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 25 Reduced Fat Ritz Crackers
- 25 teaspoons Honey Roasted Creamy Peanut Butter
- 4 oz Milk or Dark Chocolate (Good Quality ~ any type you would enjoy eating)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Line 2 cookies sheets with parchment paper. Place 25 crackers on the cookie sheet then top with the 25 teaspoons of peanut butter. Use a knife to spread it around leaving a thin edge. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Melt dark chocolate in a double broiler over medium low heat.. Once melted, turn heat to low to keep chocolate warm.
2. Using two teaspoons, drop one peanut butter covered cracker in the chocolate using the spoons to coat it with chocolate. Lift the cracker out of the chocolate shaking off excess chocolate. Place on the parchment paper and repeat with remaining crackers.
3. Refrigerate until cooled and the chocolate is hard, about 20 minutes. Store in the fridge or freezer in an air tight container.

These look so yummy I’m not sure they’d be safe in my house…especially since my husband is not crazy about chocolate 🙂
