One of my favorites is a no-bake kind of treat! Everyone loves these!

Ritz Cracker Cookies

Make litte peanut butter sandwiches out of Ritz crackers and peanut butter. Any shape the crackers come in, the snowflakes look cute!

Dip them in melted white chocolate and lay them on a cookie sheet with wax paper on it and sprinkle with colored christmas sprinkles. Let dry or put in freezer for 5 min. to dry faster.

They are delicious!!!
