Snappy Smores

• ak-mak crackers
• Dark chocolate
• Peanut butter and/or
• Sliced banana and/or
• Creme fraiche

Directions: These are better than graham cracker smores because ak-mak crackers remain crisp and SNAP!  They have little sugar, are nutty flavored and are healthier. Make as open or closed smores. Thinly slice enough dark chocolate to nearly cover the cracker. Place on the smooth side of the cracker.  Microwave for 20-40 seconds until the chocolate is soft or melted. If using peanut butter, smear it on a second cracker and place on top of the chocolate. The other ingredients can be spread on top of the melted chocolate.
