Instructions

- Melt Gurley almond bark until smooth.
- Dip the peanut butter sandwich crackers into the melted almond bark.
- Place the coated crackers on waxed paper and allow to cool and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamy texture, use smooth peanut butter, but crunchy can add a delightful crunch. If almond bark isn't available, substitute with melted chocolate or white chocolate chips. Make sure to let the almond bark cool slightly before dipping to avoid melting the peanut butter. For added flavor, consider sprinkling a bit of sea salt on top before the coating sets. These treats are perfect for gatherings or as an indulgent snack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Peanut Butter Stacks as a delightful snack or dessert at parties, alongside a cold glass of milk or a refreshing Peach Drink. They pair beautifully with coffee for a sweet afternoon treat. For a fun twist, try serving them with a platter of fresh fruits or as a topping on dessert boards, alongside other American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Peanut Butter Stacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you live in a warm climate, consider refrigerating them to prevent the almond bark from melting. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds if they become too firm, but enjoy them at room temperature for the best texture.
