Instructions
3 Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers (2 cups) and shortening (1 tablespoon, optional) in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring in between each increment (even if they're not melted at the beginning, stir anyways). If using melting wafers, follow instructions on package. 7 Mix in peppermint extract (¾ teaspoon). 4 Dip Ritz crackers into melted chocolate. It’s easiest to place them on a fork and then use another fork to scoop chocolate on top. Tap off the excess chocolate, then place on a piece of parchment paper. Before they fully harden, it can be helpful to carefully move them to prevent the chocolate from “pooling” on the parchment (which will help you get crisp-edged eggs!). 5 If you have extra chocolate, use a fork to drizzle it on top of the thin mints. While the chocolate is still wet, you can also add fun sprinkles. 6 Let harden, then enjoy! You can place these in the fridge or freezer to help them harden quicker.View original recipe
