Fat Mints

The other day, I was on Pinterest and stumbled upon a way to make Thin Mints.  Check it out here.


You just melt chocolate chips, add peppermint extract, dip ritz crackers in it, and then let the chocolate set up.

I was sceptical. I thought, That sounds kinda gross. I doubt they really taste like Thin Mints. But I decided to try them out. Except, I used Andes Mints because I have tons of them (Nate used to give them out to doctors with his Pfizer job). Anyway, I just melted a bunch of them in a bowl, dipped the crackers in and got a nice thick layer of chocolate on them, set them on a plate, and put them in the freezer. Less than 10 minutes later, I pulled them out and...

they were really good!! And pretty much the easiest, fastest treats you could ever make. So now I'm in trouble. I call them Fat Mints. We all know they're not gonna make me thin.

Try it out! You'll see. Or be smart and don't try them ever.

Those do look really good. I sometimes spread Nutella on ritz crackers so I know I love these:)
