Description

A simple and refreshing treat made with Ritz crackers, chocolate, and mint for a crispy, minty delight.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
  • Optional: Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Stir in the peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
  4. Dip each Ritz cracker into the chocolate mixture, coating both sides, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
