These crab cookies are easy to make and would be great at a beach themed party!

1 package (16 oz) Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating
Red food coloring (oil or powder based only)
24 round crackers (ex: Ritz®)
1 bag red licorice strings
1 jar creamy peanut butter
Sliced almonds
1 bag M&M®’s

1. Melt Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating in Melt and Make Microwavable Tray™ according to directions on package. Add red food coloring (oil or powder based) until desired color is established.

2. Dip tops of cracker in CANDIQUIK®; place (dipped side up) on wax paper until dry. Before dry, place 2 M&M’s on every other cracker for the eyes.

3. Cut licorice strings approximately 3” long.

4. Spread peanut butter on un-coated side of cracker. Arrange 4 red licorice pieces across the peanut butter, hanging out the sides to form
