Serves: 50
Ingredients
- Ritz® Crackers (Approximately 2 sleeves)
- 1 package (16 oz.) Chocolate and/or Vanilla CandiQuik Coating
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- (+ 1 tablespoon of shortening)
Instructions
- Melt CandiQuik according to package directions. I used half of each package, (8 oz.) of Vanilla and Chocolate CandiQuik.
- Add ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract to each 8 oz. of melted coating. Stir in ½ tablespoon of shortening to each tray of coating if needed*.
- 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).
Notes/Tips
*Please note - you are never supposed to add anything to the coating that has water in it (i.e. peppermint extract). Water and chocolate do not get along. However, I tested the waters (no pun intended) and since it was such a small amount, I got away with it. Just note, your coating may become clumpy and thick after adding the extract, making it very hard to dip WITHOUT adding the shortening.
