Peppermint Crackers Recipes

THIN MINT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Using a double boiler method, melt the chocolate coatings over hot tap water for 15 - 20 minutes. Stir . Do not cook or get water into the chocolate.
• After it is melted, stir in a couple drops of peppermint flavor into the chocolate.
• Dip crackers into the melted chocolate and then place onto a cold cookie sheet and put into the refrigerator to set. (A freezing tray to rest the dipped cookies will keep the bottoms neat looking.)
• In a few minutes take them out and package in candy cups. The cookies are best kept at room temperature or a cool dry place away from any odors.

PEPPERMINT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a large jellyroll pan with heavy-duty foil.
• Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on medium setting for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Place candy canes in a plastic bag, or between two pieces of waxed paper. Using a mallet or rolling pin, break the candy canes into chunks. Stir peppermint into melted white chocolate. Spread evenly in pan, and chill until set, about 1 hour. Break into pieces by slamming pan on counter.

PEPPERMINT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Crush peppermint candy and set aside. Line several cookie sheets with wax paper and set aside. Melt the chocolate almond bark. Dip each Ritz cracker into the almond bark and let the excess drip off back into the pan (or bowl). Place onto the wax paper lined cookie sheets. After you've dipped a few crackers, sprinkle the tops with a little bit of the crushed peppermint candy. When you've done a cookie sheetful place in freezer for a few minutes to set. Continue dipping and sprinkling until you have as many Peppermint Crackers as you want. Store in airtight container.
