Christmas No Bake Goodies

As several have asked about this...here are the recipes for these super easy melt and make Christmas Goodies!  Thank heavens for the person at the Ritz company that decided to make them come chocolate covered in the box!  Andes mints and peppermints can be found already chopped and ready in the baking aisle.  This has absolutely ZERO baking required.  All you need is a microwave and the fridge!

Double Chocolate Pretzels
1 lg bag pretzel nuggets
4 squares of almond bark
4 squares of chocolate bark
4T canola oil

Lay the pretzels out in a single layer on waxed paper. 

Melt chocolate bark (with 2T oil) in microwave for 1 minute, stir well then microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until smooth.  Use a teaspoon to lightly drizzle the chocolate over the pretzels.

Repeat the melting process using the almond bark and 2T oil.  Drizzle the white bark over the pretzels.  Let sit until the chocolate firms up.  If you have trouble with your chocolate setting, pop this in the fridge on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes.

Andes Bark
6 squares of chocolate bark
1 bag Andes mints (chopped)
2T canola oil

Melt the chocolate squares and oil for 1 minute in the microwave.  Stir and heat an additional 30 seconds then stir until smooth. 

Pour chocolate on a wax paper lined cookie pan to form the base of your bark.  Sprinkle immediately with chopped Andes candy.  Slide cookie sheet into the fridge for 20 minutes to set the chocolate firm.  Remove and break into small pieces.

Peppermint Bark
6 squares of almond (white) bark
1 bag crushed peppermint
2T canola oil

Melt almond squares and oil for 1 minute in the microwave.  Stir and heat an additional 30 seconds then stir until smooth.

Pour melted bark on a wax paper lined cookie pan to form the base of your bark.  Sprinkle immediately with chopped peppermint.  Slid cookie sheet into the fridge for 29 minutes to set it firm.  Remove and break into small pieces.

Ritz Cookies
2 boxes of chocolate covered Ritz crackers
1 jar of Jif Smooth Peanut Butter
1 tub chocolate sprinkles

Just spread a generous amount of peanut butter on a Ritz (about 3/4 teaspoon) then top with another Ritz.  Press lightly as you want the peanut butter to ooze out the edges just a tad.  Roll the edges in chocolate sprinkles. 

That's it!
