Quick and Easy Thin Mint Cookies
To know me, I love to cook, but I love to cut corners as long as it doesn’t take away from tasting good! And let me tell you, this recipe is QUICK and EASY! If you like Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, you will love these!!!
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve of regular Ritz Crackers
- 1/2 package of Chocolate Flavored Almond Bark
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Sprinkles or crushed candies (I used Betty Crocker Nonpareils in Christmas colors)
Microwave 1/2 the package of almond bark until melted mixing every 30 seconds. Add in peppermint extract and stir well.Submerge Ritz Crackers into almond bark/peppermint mixture and lift out with a fork. Place on aluminum foil or wax paper and decorate with sprinkles or candy bits.
Heat in 30-second increments, and mix well. It will take 2-3 times to have the almond bark melt all the way.
Once the bark is melted mix in the peppermint extract.
Make sure to fully cover the cracker by submerging it into the melted mixture. It’s easiest to remove the covered cracker from the mixture with a fork.
Make sure to add the toppings before the chocolate hardens. I used the Betty Crocker Nonpareils here, but crushed peppermint candy looks and tastes great too!
I make these every year. My girls love to help and give them as yummy teacher gifts. They also are always a great addition to our family cookie platter that I will share with you in the upcoming weeks.
I participated in The Great Cookie Swap 2012. I along with close to 600 other bloggers from 8 countries, raised nearly $4,600 for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. A special thank you to OXO‘s for matching the bloggers contributions.

Oh WOW those look amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe! How cool that you are participating in a cookie exchange to raise money, that is so awesome!
Mmm…that looks good and it’s nice and easy too!
Ohh yummy, these look beautiful! You are going to make me look good this year 😉
What a great idea and I hope simple it is. My kids would love to help make these!
I just made some peanut butter cookies similar to this but would have never thought about this! I’ll have to try these!
Heck yeah! Perfect and they look easy enough for sure!!
Peppermint and chocolate is like my favorite holiday indulgence. YUM!!
SMART! I would leave out the mint, but chocolate Ritz sound good!
Sounds great, I love easy recipes that don’t require me to get every pan in the kitchen dirty!
These look super easy to make, really simple for my 8 year old, who wants to do “A lot of baking and cooking during Christmas vacation, mom!” I don’t like chocolate (I know, I know!), but Gaby does and I’m definitely going to let her try these!
Whoa. I HAVE to try these! Easy and they sound delicious!
These sound good and simple to make! Just how I like my Snacks!
These look so good and easy!
Holy crap that is a genius idea!! I love thin mints and crave them when they’re out of season.
No way! Ritz crackers? How cool and easy and sounding yummy!
I would never think to use Ritz crackers either. I’m not a fan of mint, but I have to try the cracker with the chocolate.
Well that is one interesting twist on thin mints. I would have never thought to use a cracker as a cookie. I may have to try these with the kids this weekend.
Oh wow these are neat! Ritz and chocolate, who would have thought. These are so unique, I will have to bookmark it for later. I wish I would have come across this sooner, as I just got done baking all my cookies. Thanks for sharing!
I love thin mint cookies. I definitely want to try these!
