My husband just loves mint thins and I saw that you could mix mint flavoring into chocolate, but I found Andes Mint pieces and these Mint Thins were born. The crushed peppermint on top just adds some prettyness to them.

How To Make mint thins

Step 1

Crush peppermint candy into small chunks in a plastic bag. Set aside.

Step 2

Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl until all chocolate is melted and smooth. Start at 30 seconds first and for each additional spin through the microwave, only goo 10 seconds at a time to keep the chocolate from burning.
Step 3

Add the mint pieces and stir, microwave at 5 seconds intervals if mixture is not melted all the way.
Step 4

Take the Ritx crackers and drop into the chocolate/mint mix and coat evenly on both sides. Decorate with a few peppermint candy pieces. Set on either aluminum foil or waxed paper until firm.
Step 5

Enjoy!
