Hey all, I though that today that I would show you a recipe I am planning on making today. I am sure they will turn out good... if not I will probably still eat them cause they are chocolate, and I am prego. But these looked so cute and easy, I knew that I had to show them off.
Easy No bake, Holiday Mint Thins:
Easy No bake, Holiday Mint Thins
yields approx 36 thins
1 pkg (8 Squares) Baker's Semi Sweet Chocolate, melted and lightly cooled
1/4 tsp Peppermint Extract
1 sleeve Ritz Crackers (36 crackers)
1 candy cane (6 inch) crushed
Instructions:
Mix Melted Chocolate and Mint Extract together until smooth.
Dip Crackers in chocolate, turning to completely coat each cracker. Carefully scrap off excess chocolate. Place crackers in a single layer, on wax paper-covered baking sheets, sprinkle with crushed candy cane.
Allow to cool, until chocolate is firm
(Kraft recommended placing them in the fridge for 30 minutes to cool, but I have always had problems with the chocolate blooming (getting white streaks)- maybe I get it too hot to begin with, so I wouldn't try it!- tell me if you do and how it works out for you!)
Optional versions:
Oreo cookies
Chocolate Peanut butter version:
Omit the extract and spread the cracker with peanut butter before dipping n chocolate.
Omit extract and candy canes and use any holiday's themed sprinkles
awesome:)
ReplyDeleteyou could also
dip one half in red colored white chocolate and the other half in green:)
I've made a recipe with ritz crackers, peanut butter and chocolate before, but this one is new to me and sounds yummy! Simple too, which I love.

Hi Cassity! I wandered over here to visit you on this lovely sunday afternoon and I am now following your blog, facebook and tweets. This is my first time linking to your sunday recipe swap, and I am linking up a Giada recipe for cheese-stuffed dates with prosciutto that we had as a starter for our thanksgiving meal and it was a hit! I love your site, what a wonderful mix of projects, food and green! All the best, Alex@amoderatelife
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this recipe party; love it!
