I think I will try making these for neighbor gifts this year. No baking...just my speed!
Mint Thins
1 pkg. (8 squares) Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
1 sleeve Ritz Crackers (35 crackers)
1 peppermint candy cane (6 inch), crushed
Microwave chocolate in samll microwavable bowl as directed on package. Stir until completely melted. Blend in extract.
Dip crackers in melted chocolate, completely coating crackers iwth chocolate. Carefully scrape off excess chocolate. Place on wax paper-covered baking sheets; sprinkle with crushed candy.
Refrigerate 30 min. or until chocolate is firm.
Makes 35 or about 12 servings, 3 coated crackers each.
Variation: For a chocolate-peanut butter twist, omit peppermint extract and candy cane. Spread each cracker with a thin layer of peanut butter before dipping into the melted chocolate.
