Mint Thins

I made both the mint chocolate and the chocolate peanut butter cookies - very easy to make. They were a hit at my work Christmas Party!

Tonight I made my second batch of these - the first batch were given as gifts (I was quickly besieged by several requests for the recipe!). I adore the Girlscouts Thin Mints, so when I saw this recipe in the mag, I HAD to try them. In a word: WOW. Previous posters considered these messy - I really didn't. I used a pair of kitchen tongs to flip the cracker in the chocolate (be GENTLE so as not to break the cracker), then had a rubber spatula in my other hand to scrape off the choc. I found that it was a good idea to scrape the bottom of the cracker, but I left the top unscraped. If you don't, you end up seeing the cracker through the chocolate. I still ended up getting a full sleeve out of my chocolate. I also added a bit of veg oil to my choc - makes 'em glossy and it sets the choc nicely. I would definitely recommend keeping them stored in the fridge. Just as a previous poster mentioned, I added a bit more extract than it called for - otherwise, they just weren't minty enough. I also

I made these for the teacher's at my school. They LOVED them! I melted my chocolate in a double-boiler though and it worked well. We will definitely make them again.

I found this to be messy and dificult to make. The taste is good but the presentation did not turn out well. I will not be making this again

Delicious! Everyone made the comment of how they tasted like the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies! I always ate one more then I should have saying to myself the cracker was healthy for me! My only problem was that it didn't make a whole pack of crackers (about 3/4 of it), maybe I used too much chocolate on the crackers!

These were very good and easy to make! The next time I think I will double the peppermint extract. They weren't as minty as I liked. But very similar to the very famous kind you can only get once a year!

These "cookies" are so easy! Everyone absolutely loves them - I even won 2nd place in a contest at work with them. Just a hint to mix it up, white chocolate also works wonders.

This recipe is so simple and it looks like you spent so much time making them...they are amazing...I can't tell you how many people I have shared this receipe with..everyone loves it...and so simple...The chocolate with hint of salt..truly a cookie that you can wip up anytime and enjoy...

PERFECT! Great recipe that you can do with the kids. Love the no cooking. Used a fork to flip the crackers in the chocolate and scoop them out. They taste just like mint thins. They were a huge hit with the family. Easy to make for the busy moms. At first i thought ewwwww Ritz crackers, not an issue after tasting these lovely little treats.

This recipe is so easy and so delicious. Now I don't have to wait till the Girl Scouts sell their cookies. Seriously, you must try this recipe.
