Chocolate peanut butter ritz crackers

I have been a huge fan of anything chocolate & peanut butter since basically birth!  The first time my sister in law made these yummy treats for us I knew I had to have the recipe.  Not only did she share this simple yet “O So Delicious” recipe with me, she also shared a little story about how this simple peanut buttery-chocolate treat started in her family.

My sister in law’s grandmother named Betty worked in a candy shop.  She came to visit one day with a shoe box full of treats.  Originally the shoe box housed a pair of high heels with the logo written on the side “fancy Steps”, but on this day it was full of Chocolate covered peanut butter filled Ritz cracker sandwiches topped with chopped pecans. Since that day it became a favorite family treat and will forever be known as “Fancy Steps” in her family.
