Ingredients
Scale
Chocolates and Mints:
- 10 ounces (283 grams) Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips or Andes mints
Crackers:
- 2 sleeves Ritz crackers (approximately 60–64 crackers)
Optional Toppings:
- Sprinkles
- Crushed candy cane
- Decorative sugar
- Crushed peanuts
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Gather all necessary equipment including a microwave-safe bowl, parchment-lined cutting board, and a fork for dipping.
- Create a clean workspace by laying out parchment paper on a flat surface to accommodate the chocolate-dipped crackers.
- Place mint chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, carefully melting them through gentle, short intervals while stirring consistently to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Delicately submerge each Ritz cracker into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure complete coverage and allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Position the chocolate-coated crackers onto the prepared parchment paper with precise movements to maintain an even coating.
- While the chocolate remains glossy, sprinkle optional decorative toppings across the surface for added texture and visual appeal.
- Allow the chocolate-covered crackers to rest at room temperature, permitting natural hardening for approximately 40 minutes.
- For accelerated setting, transfer the cookies to the refrigerator, which will quickly solidify the chocolate coating.
- Once fully hardened, the Minty Ritz Delight Cookies are ready to serve or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Create a clean, organized workspace before starting to prevent messy chocolate mishaps.
- Use high-quality mint chocolate chips for the most delicious and smooth coating.
- Melt chocolate slowly and carefully to avoid burning or seizing the chocolate.
- Use a fork for precise dipping and easy chocolate drainage on Ritz crackers.
- Experiment with different toppings like crushed candy canes or sea salt for extra flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
