A quick treat for Valentine's Day.
Made with just a few ingredients
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
PRINT DIRECTIONSSimply melt a bag of chocolate disks (I used dark chocolate)
Spread peanut butter on a cracker and top with another cracker.
Dip in melted chocolate and place on pan lined with waxed paper.
Sprinkle with colorful decorations
Cool in the refrigerator until hardened
Treats are always better when shared with someone.
And I had someone on my mind when making these.
My dear friend, currently living in Texas, sent this pretty table scarf to me via another friends recent visit.
I love linens and the embroidery on this piece is so pretty.
Even though it is intended for Christmas with tiny boughs of pine and holly, red cardinal and Amaryllis, I think it works for Valentine's Day too.
I took notice of the capital 'L' in red and thought it extra special ;)
If my friend were here for a visit we would definitely enjoy a cup of tea together and some treats.She would bring her infectious smile and words of encouragement because that is one of her gifts.
She would lend a listening ear, maybe share a Bible verse and there would be laughter and a hug.
Thinking of good times with friends as I put this vignette together.

What a beautiful post. The chocolate treats look wonderful! I feel like I just had tea with you and your friend. You're so good with words and photography. Hope you have a great day!
The goodies sound so simple, even I could do it!!! Lovely post. Lovely friendship! Raspberry tea ... sounds good to me!
Oh my, LDH. Those sound delicious. Love the embroidered piece, too. You deserve it! Susan
My friend just gave me some of these cookies. Delicious!!
I loved this! What a sweet friend. The treats look quick, easy, and yummy. I am thinking my grands would love them. I love the embroidered towel too...soo pretty. Have a wonderful day! HUGS
Everything is so lovely! I'd be honored to sit and have tea and cookies with you! :)

A wonderful post on friendship and sharing, Lorraine ~ thank you for sharing the recipe and the photos, a treat in themselves!
Boy do those chocolate covered peanut butter crackers look GOOD and so easy. I'm going to put them on my list to do. Also love the embroidery. I so agree it does go well with Valentines too. I have some things up that are really for Christmas but have alot of hearts in them so use them for Valentines too. Love decorations that can be used for double duty. Happy Valentines Day to you Lorraine.
Hugs,
Nann
Oh yum...these look wonderful. And that embroidery is very pretty, it would be a shame to only use it at Christmas.
ritz crackers, peanut butter and chocolate, those are a few of my favorite things and you've wrapped them all up in one pretty little package. I love this idea. I'll have to make some
This is a great idea and these goodies look wonderful - very tempting!
My sweet and dear friend! Thank you for stopping by! I was wondering if any one would still come by to visit after being away so long from blogging! I appreciate your visit and sweet comment so very much!

This looks like a delectable treat - sweet and salty all at once.
The embroidered towel is very pretty..I'd be tempted to frame it!
What a pretty post.
I'b be putting that piece of embroidery out all through the year - it is lovely.
Now those little cookies - I'm going to copy your post and send it to my daughter in law. I know she'll love to make them with the little boys. Thanks!
i know these are simple and quick. I just hate myself for not thinking it up earlier! you are a genius!
Lovely post, beautiful gift! The cookies look fantastic, and I love how easy they are to do. And the salty sweet thing.
What a lovely gift from your friend! It's so beautiful, you should use it whenever you want to. There's nothing quite as precious as dear friends.
In regards to the chocolate treats, I have a little cherub who would love them!
And the embroidered table runner is absolutely beautiful. Needless to say, a true labor of love.
Happy Valentine's Day, Loraine. Wish we could share these over a cup of tea.
