Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound bittersweet chocolate
80 buttery round crackers
½ teaspoon peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Using a double boiler method, melt the chocolate coatings over hot tap water for 15 - 20 minutes. Stir . Do not cook or get water into the chocolate.
  • After it is melted, stir in a couple drops of peppermint flavor into the chocolate.
  • Dip crackers into the melted chocolate and then place onto a cold cookie sheet and put into the refrigerator to set. (A freezing tray to rest the dipped cookies will keep the bottoms neat looking.)
  • In a few minutes take them out and package in candy cups. The cookies are best kept at room temperature or a cool dry place away from any odors.

EASY GIRL SCOUT THIN MINTS



Easy Girl Scout Thin Mints image

These were the hit of my cookie exchange this year. So many people asked me for the recipe that the Wal-mart shelf was emptied of the Andes bits. There is a basic recipe on Zaar but I added the morsels to make the color more like the original cookies. Bet you can't eat just one! I made 5 dozen cookies in 45 minutes, including clean-up time.

Time 45m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) package mint chocolate chips
4 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels
60 Ritz crackers
colored sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt mints and morsels in microwave or double boiler.
  • Dip Ritz crackers in chocolate mixture ( I use my little ice tongs to make it easy).
  • Place on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
  • If you want to decorate cookies with sprinkles, you have to do it before the chocolate dries -- after every 3 or 4 cookies.
  • When sheet is full, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Peel cookies from wax paper (can be used again for next batch).
  • Store in tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. They go fast. I've kept them as long as a week if they were well hidden.
  • The computer wouldn't let me put it in the list of ingredients, but I use Andes Mint Bits found in the baking aisle.

10 ounces vegan semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle® Toll House® Simply Delicious)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
