Equipment

  • Cookie Sheet
  • Wax Paper
  • Microwave Safe Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dipping chocolate (or 1 package of milk chocolate chips)
  • ½ teaspoon mint extract
  • 30 Ritz Crackers
  • crushed candy cane optional topping

Instructions

  • Line cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper (this makes it easier to transfer cookies to a cool place so they will set up quicker).
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe dish, stirring occasionally. We usually microwave the chocolate for 60 seconds, then pull it out and stir. Place back in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir again. Continue at 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until chocolate is completely melted.
  • When chocolate is completely melted, stir in 1/2 teaspoon mint extract.
  • Dip Ritz Crackers into chocolate. Tap off excess chocolate. Lay crackers on wax paper.
  • You can leave the cookies plain or garnish with crushed candy cane. They are also cute when drizzled with red and green icing.

Notes

Here are some of my favorite toppings to use for the no bake cookies:
  1. Crushed up candy canes
  2. Crushed oreo
  3. Andes mint pieces
  4. Red icing
  5. Green icing
  6. Christmas sprinkles
