A delightful and easy-to-make treat combining the refreshing taste of mint with the richness of chocolate.
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper to prepare for the dipped crackers.
Using wax paper ensures the chocolate doesn't stick to the surface.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for an additional 10-20 seconds until fully melted.
Stirring between intervals prevents the chocolate from burning.
Add the peppermint extract to the melted chocolate and mix well to combine.
Ensure the extract is evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Using a fork, dip each cracker into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it on the prepared cookie sheet.
Tap the fork gently on the bowl's edge to remove excess chocolate.
Repeat the dipping process until all crackers are coated and placed on the cookie sheet.
Work quickly to prevent the chocolate from hardening.
Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Ensure the cookie sheet is level in the fridge to avoid uneven setting.
Once set, transfer the crackers to an airtight container for storage.
Layer the crackers with wax paper to prevent sticking.
