My friend Sarah shared this recipe this past Christmas at our annual cookie exchange. With girl scout cookie season on the way, I decided to share her recipe now for DIY thin mints. These just use a few basic supplies, and they were really tasty. So....once you've gone through your box, you won't have to despair until next year.
Homemade Thin Mint Recipe (Makes 1 1/2 dozen)
Ingredients: 18 ritz crackers, 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted), 1 T vegetable shortening, 2/4 t. peppermint extract
Ingredients: 18 ritz crackers, 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted), 1 T vegetable shortening, 2/4 t. peppermint extract
Instructions: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Combine chips and shortening and head for 1 min to melt. Stir and heat 10-15 seconds burst until chocolate stirs smooth. Add peppermint extract to the melted chocolate. Dip 1 cracker in the chocolate. Coat it and remove with a fork. Allow excess to drain off fork tines. Place on wax paper and repeat. Place tray of finished cookies in fridge to harden.
....and then, thank your friend for sharing a great recipe. Thanks again, Sarah. :O)

Thanks for the recipe....I think. ;-)
Not sure if it's a good thing that I could eat these all year.
