Ingredients

  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 sleeve ritz crackers 36 crackers
  • 1 candy cane 6 inch, crushed

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate (and the oil if you're using it - I think it just makes it a bit smoother, but you'll be fine if you leave it out too) over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
  • Mix in the peppermint extract. DIP crackers in chocolate mixture, turning to completely coat each cracker. Carefully scrape off excess chocolate.
  • Place crackers in single layer on baking sheet and sprinkle with crushed candy. REFRIGERATE 30 min. or until chocolate is firm.
