  • Total Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

Scale

30 Townhouse Original Crackers (oval shaped)

30 Townhouse Pretzel Crackers (oval shaped)

16 ounces Chocolate Candiquick, (1 whole package)

16 ounces Vanilla Candiquick, (1 whole package)

16 ounces Coconut Pecan Frosting

16 ounces Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting


Instructions

This recipe has many variations depending on how much you want to make, type of filling, type or cracker, and type of frosting you use. We made 2 different kinds-German Chocolate Cookies and White Chocolate Strawberry Cookies.

To Make The German Chocolate Cookies:

Take out a baking sheet and line with parchment paper. When you make the cookies assemble them on the parchment paper so your counter doesn’t make a mess. Spread one side of the pretzel cracker with the coconut pecan frosting. Then stack another pretzel cracker on top to sandwich it. Repeat this process till you run out of crackers or until your desired amount. Place the cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes.

After the cookies have cooled. Melt the Chocolate Candiquick in the microwaveable tray that it comes in. Make it according to the package. Do not over heat the chocolate and stir often.  

Take out another baking sheet and line with parchment paper. When the chocolate is all melted dip the cookies in with a fork. When the chocolate is on all sides you can take it out and place on the parchment paper to set. Repeat this pattern till all the cookies are chocolate coated dipped.

Place the dipped cookies back to the freezer for 10 minutes.

Melt Vanilla Caniquick in the in the microwaveable tray that it comes in. Make it according to the package. When it is all melted pour it into a Ziploc bag.

Take out the cookies from the freezer. Clip the corner of the ziploc bag and pipe the football stiches on each cookie.

Give it a few minutes to all the cookies to set then place the cookies back in the freezer in an air tight container till you are ready to serve.

To Make The White Chocolate Strawberry Cookies:

Follow the same process as above just swap a few ingredients. Swap the Townhouse Pretzel Crackers for the Townhouse Pretzel Crackers. Use the Vanilla Candiquick for dipping the cookies. For the filling use Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting. Pipe the football laces with the Chocolate Candiquick.
