At room temp, you'll just want to make sure the chocolate doesn't melt if you live in a warmer climate. The chocolate coating forms an airtight seal around the sandwiches which keeps the crackers from going stale they'll stay good in an airtight container for up to a month if not more, especially if you store them in the fridge. (In Pat's words: "If they weren't easy, I wouldn't make them!") I'm all about practicality, and with just three easy-to-find ingredients, Patty Cakes are exceedingly so. You could even drizzle on white chocolate for a stripey pattern or flip the script and coat them in white chocolate instead. Around Christmas, Pat sends ones with green, red, and white sprinkles. You just can't beat this classic combo of creamy peanut butter, crispy salty crackers, and sweet-bitter chocolate.Īnd with the right sprinkle blend Patty Cakes are easily customized for different events or holidays. So, I got Pat's permission (she said she would be "honored") to make them myself and share them with you here. Patty Cakes are ideal for this (as are chocolate revel bars, if you're looking for something slightly more involved).

Generally I leave the Patty Cake-making to Pat - she's the expert, after all - and, though Jimmy and I have been together for over a decade, there are some toes on which I just won't step.īut given the pandemic, I've been thinking a lot about treats that are easy to assemble in bulk for shipping in care packages or even just dropping off from socially acceptable distance.
Peanut butter and crack sandwich. cracker#
Sure, elsewhere on the internet you can find these under the more boring name "chocolate covered peanut butter cracker sandwiches" but in this huge, blended family I was lucky enough to marry into, they're called Patty Cakes. Why Patty Cakes? Because they're a signature treat Jimmy's grandma Pat makes and ships around the country to her 8 sons, two-dozen-plus grandkids, and I don't even know how many great grandkids. Just wanted to slide in here with a great lil recipe for a treat we call "Patty Cakes" - chocolate coated peanut butter cracker sandwiches. Hiiiii hello, hope you're doing well on this Monday morning.
