If you like, while the almond bark is still wet you can sprinkle it with colored sugar or some sort of Christmas-y sprinkles. Carefully set it on parchment paper or foil. Once the peanut butter and Ritz sandwich is well-coated, slide a fork underneath it and gently lift it out of the almond bark. Once the almond bark has melted and is smooth, then you just dip the peanut butter Ritz cracker “sandwiches” under the surface of the melted almond bark one at a time (so that they are completely covered). To do that, you basically just put peanut butter on a Ritz cracker, then top it with another Ritz cracker to make a “sandwich”. While the almond bark is melting, start making Ritz peanut butter “sandwiches”. ***Be very careful not to burn yourself on any escaping steam! The boiling water in the saucepan will heat the metal bowl and melt the almond bark. Next you will put the almond bark in the metal bowl (see picture below). Put a medium-sized metal bowl on top of the saucepan of boiling water. If you don’t have a double boiler you can create your own: You just fill a medium-sized saucepan half-way with water, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high. If your slow cooker has a large surface area on the bottom you might want to use a double boiler instead.

The slow cooker works great for melting almond bark if you have one that is narrow-bottomed (it needs to be narrow-bottomed so that the almond bark will be deep enough to dunk the “cookies” under it). The first thing you will need to do is melt the almond bark.
