|
|
| Ingredients: |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon shortening or coconut oil
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 dozen Ritz crackers
|
|
| Procedures: |
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable liner.
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and the shortening or oil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
When it's completely smooth, remove from heat, and add the peppermint extract 1/4 teaspoon at a time, tasting between additions to make sure it isn't too strong.
Drop a Ritz cracker in the chocolate, then use a fork or spoon to flip it over to coat the other side.
Lift it out the chocolate, shake slightly to remove excess chocolate, and place on the baking sheet.
When all of your crackers are chocolate covered, put the pans in the fridge or freezer to harden up the chocolate for about 15 minutes.
