First hook up a double boiler by sticking a glass bowl on top of a pan with simmering water in it and pour two bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips in. Let them melt and plop a tablespoon of Crisco in it. Stir in a teaspoon of mint extract. When the chocolate is totally smooth, start dipping Ritz crackers in the chocolate using two forks to coat and then fish them out. I sprinkled some with crushed candy canes, but fancy pants Steph melts white chocolate and flings it like an artist... so hers are prettier.
I also made a batch of white chocolate with almond extract and topped those with crushed Heath bars. The possibilities are truly endless with different types of chocolate and extracts. How about orange with dark chocolate? Mmmm...
Guess what else I did tonight? Made 88 of these!

I LOVE easy recipes and those look delish! and those turtles wow super easy as well...
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas
Mmmmm, I can't wait! The Heath ones sounds super tasty, too.
At this rate, it's going to be a miracle if the chocolate crinkle dough (sorry, Amy, I stole them!) in my fridge turns into actual choclate crinkles before 6:30 tonight...
Want to know something kind of weird? I totally made those turtles yesterday. We did a recipe swap and didn't even know it!
Am going to have to try this for my edible gifts this year! Sounds yummy :)
