Ritz Cracker Thin Mints

Recipe Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Coating

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and vegetable oil.
2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
3. Stir in the peppermint extract until well combined.

Step 2: Dip the Ritz Crackers

1. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Ritz cracker into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
2. Shake off any excess chocolate, then place the coated cracker on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Repeat with the remaining crackers until they are all coated in chocolate.

Step 3: Chill and Garnish

1. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
2. Once the chocolate is set, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and garnish the Thin Mints with crushed candy canes or mint candies, if desired.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve the Ritz Cracker Thin Mints as a delicious snack or dessert, and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors with every bite.
