I saw this receipe at and had most of the ingredients, so I thought I would give it a try. The taste was surprisingly similar to the Thin Mints that you buy from the Girl Scouts, but was chewy.

Who would have thought a cracker could me made into a cookie!
I tweaked the ingredients from the original recipe as I did not have Milk Chocolate Chips by using the full bag of Dark Chocolate Chips and adding 2 TBSP margarine and 2 TBSP milk.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 bag Dark Chocolate or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 box of Ritz Crackers
  • 2 tbsp Margarine
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 2 tbsp Peppermint Extract

Steps (4 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    My recipe resulted in 30 cracker/cookies.

  2. 2

    Melt the margarine and chocolate chips in a double boiler (or the equivalent) then add in 2 TBSP peppermint extract and mix.

  3. 3

    Add 2 TBSP of milk and stir until mixed.

  4. 4

    To coat the crackers, I put them in the chocolate and lightly turned them over and covered each with chocolate with a spoon, then put on a parchment lined piece of wax paper to cool. After they cooled off for about 5 mins, I stuck them in freezer for about 10 minutes then served them.
