Crispy, buttery, minty, salty, and sweet, these Thin Mint Ritz Crackers are the easiest, tastiest holiday treat, made with just 2 ingredients and whatever toppings you like!
Line a large cutting board or several plates with parchment paper.
Microwave the mint chocolate chips in 20-second increments until fully melted, stirring after every 20 seconds. Once melted, stir together with a fork until completely smooth.
Gently place a Ritz cracker in the bowl. Use a fork to submerge the cracker fully and then to lift the cracker from the melted chocolate.
Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the chocolate-covered Ritz cracker on parchment paper.
Continue with the rest of the crackers.
If decorating, add the sprinkles or other toppings before the chocolate hardens. If decorating with a drizzle of melted chocolate wafers, add that after the chocolate hardens.
Let the chocolate harden for at least 40 minutes, or until fully solid. You can speed this up by placing them in the fridge. Enjoy immediately, or transfer to a container with an air-tight lid. Store at a cool room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Try any of these other recipe variations:
Instead of Ritz crackers, use mini pretzels.
Drizzle the tops of the crackers with melted candy chips in your favorite colors.
Add a sprinkling of cinnamon to the chocolate.
"Glue" 2 Ritz crackers together with a layer of caramel in between, then dip the double decker Ritz into melted Andes chips.
Nutrition facts are estimated assuming 4 crackers per servings and do not include optional toppings, but will vary depending on how much chocolate sticks to each cracker.
