These were really good! Although 8oz of chocolate did not make 32 mint thins. Which is good, b/c we ate all that we made-about 15. Glad I made them and they are very easy. The kids helped!

I made this recipe for Christmas for my family and they really liked it. It's easy and simple to make, and very inexpensive to make. I will be making this again!

I found a way to make this easier and less messy. I did the pb version. So I spread my crackers with pb. Then, I melted choc chips and put them in a ziplok bag. Then I cut a small hole in the bag, and I piped the chocolate on the cracker in a zig zag way. Then I added sprinkles. Very easy, fast, and looked great.
