Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your Ritz mints. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa content and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering is a process that helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from becoming grainy. This will result in a smoother, more professional-looking finish.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Ritz mints can be topped with a variety of different ingredients, such as crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, or sprinkles. Get creative and experiment to find your favorite combination.
  • Store your Ritz mints properly: Ritz mints should be stored in a cool, dry place. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to six months.
