Faux Thin Mints

  • Completed Project: Faux Thin Mints Picture #1

Faux Thin Mints out of Ritz Crackers

I saw this receipe at and had most of the ingredients, so I thought I would give it a try. The taste was surprisingly similar to the Thin Mints that you buy from the Girl Scouts, but was chewy.

Who would have thought a cracker could me made into a cookie!
I tweaked the ingredients from the original recipe as I did not have Milk Chocolate Chips by using the full bag of Dark Chocolate Chips and adding 2 TBSP margarine and 2 TBSP milk.

Created using a how-to available here

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    My recipe resulted in 30 cracker/cookies.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Melt the margarine and chocolate chips in a double boiler (or the equivalent) then add in 2 TBSP peppermint extract and mix.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Add 2 TBSP of milk and stir until mixed.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    To coat the crackers, I put them in the chocolate and lightly turned them over and covered each with chocolate with a spoon, then put on a parchment lined piece of wax paper to cool. After they cooled off for about 5 mins, I stuck them in freezer for about 10 minutes then served them.
