My Experiece with Little Birdie Secret's Thin Mints

Recipe adapted from Little Birdie Secrets: I prefer dark chocolate and just a subtle peppermint, so I switched out dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate and added less peppermint extract.

1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 package dark chocolate chips

1 tsp. peppermint extract

2 sleeves Ritz Crackers

1. Melt your chocolate on a double boiler--glass bowl on top of a deep pan works well

2. Add peppermint once chocolate is melted--chocolate will seize up a bit, so just keep stirring until a smooth consistency is reached.

3. Dip crackers in chocolate using a fork or your finger.

4. Lay on wax paper. Refridgerate and ENJOY!

Don't put directly on a rack like you see in picture. The chocolate sticks to the metal making it very hard to remove the cooled thin mints

And if your glass bowl ends up vacuum sealing to the water filled pan...just let it cool overnight and the bowl will eventually pop off. Makes for a great hands-on science lesson, though!
