Ingredients
Milk Chocolate Thin Mints:
- 24 Ritz crackers (or about 2 of the smaller sleeves)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
White Chocolate Peppermint Thin Mints:
- 24 Ritz crackers (or about 2 of the smaller sleeves)
- 1 cup white chocolate baking chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Directions
1
Note: The directions are the same for either version.
Prep a sheet pan with parchment paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix your baking/chocolate chips with extract and coconut oil.
2
Microwave in 15-second increments until melted and smooth, stirring each time. My microwave takes about 4 times.
Note: Using some sort of oil helps the chocolate melt smoother with fewer clumps, which is why I'm adding in coconut oil here.
3
Dip the crackers into the melted chocolate, turning your hand to drip off the excess chocolate. I used a toothpick since the crackers have small holes in the middle.
4
Place the dipped crackers on top of the wax paper and freeze or refrigerate until set. That's it - enjoy!
