Menu Monday-Mock Thin Mints.

Mondays will be recipes...hopefully something creative, or just something I find yummy.  Let's start with something simple.  You'll need:

A semi shallow microwave safe bowl
A slotted spoon
A sheet pan
Waxed Paper
Ritz Crackers
Andis Mint Chips (you can find these in the baking aisle with the chocolate chips-if you can't find andis any mint chips will work I suppose)

You'll need to do this:
Cover baking sheet with waxed paper.  Put the baking sheet in the freezer.

Melt the chips in the microwave.  To do this, put the chips in the bowl, microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir.  Microwave for an additional 30 seconds.  Stir.  Continue this process until the chips are melted.  NOTE:  If you get water or any liquid in chocolate chips that you are trying to melt, it'll mess them up.  So, be careful.

Retrieve cookie sheet from freezer.

Remove melted chips from microwave.

Next, plop a cracker into the melted chocolate, flip it with the spoon, then fish it out, letting the excess drip off.

Plop it down gently on chilled waxed paper covered cookie sheet until the chocolate gets hard.

Eat.  Share.  Enjoy.
