These cookies became a family tradition about twenty years ago when my Grandma Hansen started making dozens of them every Christmas. She would give them away by the bucket full to everyone she knew- and everyone loved them. I started making them myself a few years ago to help carry on the delicious tradition. While I haven't managed to ever make enough batches to give them away in mass quantities (I have limited counter space in my tiny kitchen), they are my favorite thing to contribute at holiday gatherings. They are also one of my favorite things to eat at holiday gatherings.
The recipe is no real secret- peanut butter sandwiched between Ritz crackers and dipped in chocolate. So go whip up a batch and share the love- or just eat them all by yourself. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone- I'll be too busy eating a whole batch of my own. Merry Christmas!
