INGREDIENTS: (Yield: approx. 50 thin mints) - Ritz® Crackers (Approximately 2 sleeves) - 1 package (16 oz.) Chocolate and/or Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating - 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract - 1 tablespoon of shortening (Ex: Crisco)

Melt CANDIQUIK® in Melt and Make Microwaveable Tray™ according to package directions. Stir in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and 1 tablespoon of shortening into melted coating until well mixed.*

Using a fork, dip the cracker in the coating, using a spoon to completely coat the cracker. Let the excess coating drip off through the fork tines. Place on wax or parchment paper to set. Reheat the coating for a few seconds as needed while dipping (the extract does cause the coating to dry faster). * Coating may become clumpy and thick after adding the extract, making it very hard to dip without adding the shortening.
