Monjas for Las Mujeres

At the conference in Honduras, two missionaries created this yummy treat that the women (las mujeres) absolutely love.  My guess is that you will, too!

With just four simple ingredients and a bit of time you can create this sweet and salty treat.  Here are the directions for the full-size version.

• 1 box Ritz crackers
• peanut butter, creamy works best
• melting chocolates, vanilla or white chocolate
• Thinning Flakes (from a cake decorating shop)

Spread peanut butter on one cracker and put another cracker on top.  Repeat  for 1-2 stacks of crackers.

In a double-boiler, put in about half the bag of melting chocolates.  Stir until fully melted.  Keep stirring with one hand.  With the other holding a pair of tongs, pick up a cracker and dip half of it in the chocolate.  Lay on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper or parchment paper.  Repeat for all the crackers.

If the chocolate starts to become thick, add a pinch of thinning flakes.  Add this fat helps to thin the chocolate.  The addition of other liquids will ruin the chocolate.  You can add more chocolate and flakes until all the cracker sets are covered.  Allow to cool for several hours.





This year, we found a short-cut and used Ritz Bits.  The crackers are already filled with peanut butter and 1 pound of white chocolate will cover almost 4 boxes.

For a fun and even more delicious treat, use Mini Oreos.
