Instructions

  3. Continue to microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until completely melted and smooth. Remove from microwave.
  4. Stir in the peppermint extract.
  5. Dip each Ritz cracker into the melted chocolate, one by one, and place on the lined baking sheet.

Recipe Notes

I found the Wilton dark cocoa mint candy melts at JOANN's but you can also order them on Amazon. You could also just use semi-sweet chocolate chips or candy melts instead and increase the mint extract to 1 1/2 teaspoons in the recipe.
