Butter Cracker Thin Mints
You can use Ritz crackers for this or go the frugal route (I know I will) and use a store brand butter cracker. This is incredibly easy and I wonder why I never thought of this. Quantity made is approximate.
Ingredients
- 500 grams chocolate compound, (chocolate bark, 1 lb)
- 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 40 butter crackers, Ritz or your choice, and as needed
Instructions
- Setup a double boiler and add the chocolate compound. Heat until the chocolate is fully melted. Stir in the peppermint extract. Line a baking pan or two with parchment paper or foil.
- When the chocolate is ready, drop a cracker in the chocolate, flip it over with a fork then lift it out and drip off excess, place the cracker on the paper or foil.
- Repeat until all the chocolate is used, I sprinkled the mints with some chocolate sprinkles I had on hand. I used 2 sleeves of a store brand cracker and made 45 mints.
- Allow crackers to fully cool or if in a rush, place them in the fridge for a few minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
This is low cost based on the amount of mints made.
