Happy Tuesday peeps!
I’m not sure about you guys but today is one of those days, where all I want to do is crawl under a blanket with a Pinterest screen in front of me and do nothing. It’s raining, cold, and wet. Unfortunately my “to do” list is telling me today is going to play out a little different. We are hosting a small dinner party tonight for our good friends and of course, being the way I am, I want to cook everything and anything.
I have this crazy menu: Bruschetta Chicken (still tweaking the recipe and hopefully will post soon), Farro Salad with Beets – super excited to give this a try! It’s an absolutely new idea that I’m working on. Lemony Caesar Salad, Mussels in Tomato Paprika Sauce and Fresh Mozzarella and Bruschetta Appetizer. It’s a little bit of everything, minus the dessert because I think I currently have enough to feed a village.
I’m not kidding guys but these last couple weeks, I’ve been producing cookies like there’s no tomorrow! I usually give them away and even with that, I still have tupperware containers with leftovers, which for a night like tonight are perfect, iincluding these No Bake 5-Ingredient White Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cookies.
If you’re anything like me and go crazy with food when hosting a dinner party but don’t have the time to cook, then these are a perfect little dessert to serve up. There’s no baking involved or any crazy tools. You can make these up to one day in advance or day of. All you need is Ritz crackers, peanut butter, candy melts, white chocolate, sprinkles, and 30 minutes of your time. That’s it!
These are a perfect sweet and salty combo but with a festive, cute-sy look 🙂

These could not be much cuter, and the fact that they include sweet and savory flavors just makes them even better. You clever little holiday elf!

Ritz crackers are seriously just the best thing ever.. I love their saltiness so I can imagine how good they taste when combined with white chocolate and sweet peanut butter. These cookies have definitely been added to my Christmas cookie list!
