Ingredients
- 1 box of Saltines (or your favorite saltine crackers)
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of peppermint extract
- 1 cup of powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Optional: Sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration
Instructions
- Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where all the magic will happen!
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Add the peppermint extract to the melted chocolate and stir well to combine. This is where the minty freshness comes in!
- Now, dip each saltine cracker into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated on both sides. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-coated crackers on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some powdered sugar or decorations over the top while the chocolate is still wet! - Repeat this process until all the crackers are coated. Once you’re done, pop the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Once they’re set, remove from the fridge, and you can stack them up on a serving plate or package them up as gifts for your loved ones!
There you go—it’s that simple! These Valentine’s Thin Mint Crackers are not just a treat, they’re a labor of love. Enjoy every crunchy, minty bite with your family and friends. Spread the love and treat yourself, too!
