Easy-to-make gluten-free Almond Butter Cracker Sandwich Cookies coated in chocolate
I don't usually think of something like a cracker as dessert but when topped with almond butter {or peanut butter} and coated in chocolate, they make a delicious, addicting, and satisfyingly sweet/salty dessert.
I made a chocolate coating using cocoa powder, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Coconut oil is perfect because it is relatively solid at room temperature {and hard when cold} so it helps the coating set up nicely.
The amount in the ingredients makes enough to coat all the sandwich cookies with a little bit leftover just in case.
A little note of caution: crackers can break if you press too hard when smearing on the almond butter or when smashing them together. However, I broke a few of them while making the sandwiches and just pressed them back together and coated them in chocolate. Once the chocolate coating hardens, they will be good to go!
Enjoy!
