THIN MINTS


They taste just like the Girl Guide cookies, they look just like the Girl Guide cookies, they feel just like the Girl Guide cookies, and you can make them fast, and have them year round (unless you have a heaping stash in your freezer.....and if so, please share!)

Ingredients:
  • Ritz crackers
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
  • 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions:
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminium foil and set aside.
  • Set up a double boiler on your stove top over medium-low heat.  Combine chocolate chips and shortening (the shortening helps the chocolate stay smooth when using it for dipping, and prevents it from hardening too quickly), and stir occasionally until it is melted.  Add mint extract and stir to combine.
  • Add 1 cracker at a time to the chocolate, and lift out with a fork to allow the excess chocolate to drain through.
  • Place in fridge or refrigerator to harden.
  • Enjoy!

Recipe yields about 24 cookies, or for a box of crackers, double the recipe.

Store in your fridge for up to a month, or keep them in your freezer until they run out, plus they taste best from there, just like the real ones!


Bon Appetit!
