Homemade Tagalongs!!!

If you're like me and love Girl Scout cookies, you probably agree that there is a certain degree of suckitude regarding the fact that they are only sold once a year! I cannot rectify that issue, sorry.

BUT. If you like tagalongs, you HAVE to make these bad boys. I'm telling you, they taste so much like them it's insane.

Being the kind and thoughtful person that I am, I made some for the girls at work last night and decided to take pictures and share the process with you all.

Did I mention that these things are so easy that I barely even need to give instructions?

The first thing you need to do is spread peanut butter between two Ritz crackers and stick them together like a sandwich. I know it's tempting to load up on the peanut butter, but resist the urge or you are going to have a big mess later. You don't have to be too skimpy with it though!




Then....melt some chocolate. Yum! What chocolate you use is up to you. I'm no connoisseur so I have been known to cheat and use chocolate almond bark because then I don't have to mess with paraffin. No one has ever been able to tell the difference so far...but you know how that goes. The chocoholics can always tell. Everyone has preferences. I use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.


After that you just put your crackers in, make sure they're coated with the chocolate, then transfer them to wax paper and leave them alone so the chocolate can set. When I've done all the crackers I want, I always find some other stuff to dip in the chocolate. Last night I did pretzels.


That's all there is. Easy right? The hardest thing about it is cleaning up the mess. :)
