Ingredients

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother chocolate coating, consider adding a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the melted white chocolate. This helps achieve a thinner consistency for easier dipping. If you prefer a crunchier texture, try using Ritz crackers instead of saltines. You can also experiment with flavored peanut butter, such as cinnamon or chocolate, for an exciting twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful treats as a fun dessert at parties or family gatherings. They pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. For a festive touch, consider arranging them on a decorative platter alongside Aunt Dot's Favorite Lemon Sponge Pie for a delightful dessert spread.

Store the Vanilla Peanut Butter Supremes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
