Notes
This is for a small batch/snack. You can easily double or triple the recipe. You can also add more peanut butter to each cracker if you like.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best results.
Use white chocolate, almond bark or candy melts instead of chocolate chips, and leave out the coconut oil. You can omit the coconut oil if using chocolate chips, but the chocolate won't be as smooth.
