Tips and tricks for making PB & J Football Crackers;

• Do NOT overfill the crackers, or press them together too tightly. In doing so, you’ll risk squishing the filling out from the center of the crackers.
• Before freezing, if needed, clean up any filling that has squished out from the crackers with a clean finger, or napkin.
• VERY IMPORTANT – DO NOT overheat the chocolate in the microwave. When melting chocolate, low and slow is always better. If heated to quickly or on too high of heat, the chocolate will seize up, and won’t melt properly.
• The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled if needed. Please plan accordingly.
