[@marylist1236]

I had to smile when you said you were using peppermint oil to flavor the chocolate. It brought back lovely memories of childhood. I was born & raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, & still live there. When I was growing up, and when my family was able we went to the local drive-in theater in the summer, they had a playground for young'ns to swing, slide, & climb until it was dark enough for the movie. While playing in the fresh air, there was always the scent peppermint in the air, because this drive-in was located near a factory that distilled & extracted peppermint oil.

I learned to make these before you were born, Emmy! Our Girl Scout troop visited a local bakery. Mrs. D told us we could make fake Mints using Ritz crackers, and they'd taste just like ours! We didn't believe it, but it's true! Thin mints are best FROZEN with a glass of milk.

So fun. Also please more icebox dessert recipes for summer! I made an icebox lemonade pie last night and it was a hit. 1 tub whipped topping, 6 oz thawed lemonade concentrate, and one can sweetened condensed milk. Fold together just until combined and spoon into a prepared graham pie crust. Freeze min 4 hours and thaw 15 min before serving

[@recoveringsoul755]

Didn't she just make that? I want to try it with Lime too

[@frenchfriar]

You could definitely make variations using orange or lemon oil, or white or milk chocolate, to have a selection. Make sandwich cookies by filling them with Nutella or marshmello fluff before coating them. Even peanut butter would be good. I can see myself spending all day making different little cookies like this.

[@KiJiHoon]

Hi Emmy! My partner and I recently tried and fell in love with one ingredient banana faux ice cream-definitely recommend it and our kiddo loves it too. The only tricks to figure out are how you prepare the banana, how ripe it is, and how much you blend it (until it has the texture of custard ice cream)

[@paulahillier1390]

With a crushed candy cane crunch for Christmas. Yummers.

[@emmymade]

Fun!🍬

[@meh_lady]

I’ve done these since I was a kid and it’s shocking how close they are! I actually prefer the saltiness but if you’re not into salty sweet you can use the lower sodium crackers.

[@lesliecole5432]

These are a staple in my house around the holidays. However, I melt down Andres mints and dip the cracker in! 2 ingredients!

I saw the Ritz toffee and marshmallow desert yesterday and was going to comment on it and then saw this today.

I'm going to try this for sure-Thin Mints are my favorite!!! Peppermint oil has so many other uses, too- it can help soothe an upset tummy and it makes a great insect deterrent. Ants and spiders hate the stuff and extract won't work the same way.

[@glw5166]

Emmy is so cute whenever she does her tasing 😊. Thanks for another great recipe!

[@GodismyFortressandmyDeliverer]

Another excellent cookie using Ritz crackers is to spread creamy peanut butter between two Ritz crackers then submerge the peanut butter sandwich cookies into chocolate coating liberally. When you bite into them you get a Butterfinger type texture with a chocolate coated creamy peanut butter cookie.

[@UsDiYoNa]

These super fast recipes are where its at 👌🏽

[@zonacrs]

A little corn syrup in the chocolate would give it a glossy finish. I would do that with 90% cacao dark chocolate. Perhaps a little clarified butter as well. That being said Emmy knocks it out of the park yet again.

[@ytakahashi6809]

Same using wee bit of coconut oil😊

[@Someone-u-know2]

You can also just double dip the crackers to give it a thicker coating. Using Andes mints should be a fantastic alternative.

[@MWashburn1218]

I love using peppermint oil! It's such a cleaner crisper mint flavor! They have unsalted ritz too for anyone wanting to avoid the salt.

[@sonogabri1]

Thanks for the tip.

I love Girl Scout cookies! I have some thin mints in my freezer as I watch this! Definitely will try this recipe.

[@marcuslunsford-od8se]

Chocolate shortbread cookies would be a better choice for a more thin mint experience in my opinion but I'm sure these are good too....

[@RenateRainbow]

The first time I saw this video it gave me an idea for a Christmas cookie I’m going to make soon. I have mini Christmas cookie cutters and I’m going to use them with a chocolate sugar cookie recipe and then dip them in the mint chocolate and drizzle with white chocolate and Christmas sprinkles.

[@Claudia_CG_Garza]

I'm going to try this with Oreo Thins in the original flavor and also the Oreo Thins in the mint flavor so those should *really* taste like GS Thin Mints!

[@susantipton4036]

You can also melt Andes thin mints then dip the Ritz cracker. It too will taste like the Girls Scout thin mints.

[@dianeb95]

I think vanilla wafers would also be a good option. I’ll have to try both & do a taste test 😋.

[@MichellePondueCruz]

I love these. Nearly every church/community cookbook I own has a version of them.

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

I had a friend make something similar to this where it was a PeanutButter ritz sandwich dipped in dark chocolate. It was quite good.

[@burninghair]

My goodness, I don't know how many would have actually made it to the cookie sheet after the dip and flip, lol. Every time you lifted the fork & cookie out of the chocolate, I imagined it going straight into your mouth... which is most likely what would happen if I tried to make these lol. Some would make, maybe...

I love mint and chocolate together. York Peppermint Patties are one of my favorites. Off subject but did you know the light bulb by you stand mixer is out? 💡

[@nicholem4831]

I could be mistaken, but I believe she’s loosened the bulb just slightly so it intentionally stays off. Doing so would keep all “lit” bulbs above the backsplash, and provide a more even dispersement of the bulbs. In my opinion, having one random bulb lit up in that location would throw off the balance of the accent lighting, and stand out in a negative way. But who knows! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@utGort]

Andes sells bags of broken bits that they collect in the manufacture of their mints. I find them every year in the supermarket. One of the things that I do with them is to substitute for chocolate chips when making Toll-house cookies.

[@drflash36]

When Emmy says that peppermint oil is Very strong, she is Not kidding! I've bought some and tried making my own mint tea by shaking it into tea bags. Two drops of it is Over powering, while just one quick shake into a tea bag is just about right.

Variation of this would be to take a Ritz, smear a little bit of peanut-butter or Gnutella and use plain chocolate, either milk- or dark. Ritz crackers *are* salty as well as sweet, so if there's a salt-free version (haven't checked), that'd be better.
