Ingredients:
- 1 package (10 ounces) of Andes mint baking chips or 2 packages (4.67 ounces each) of Andes mint candies
- 48 round butter-flavored crackers
- 1/2 cup white baking chips
- 2 candy canes, crushed
Directions:
- Prepare for Dipping: Begin by melting the Andes mint baking chips or candies. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until the chips are completely melted, stirring occasionally to ensure smoothness.
- Dip the Crackers: Dip each butter-flavored cracker into the melted mint mixture, ensuring each one is evenly coated. Allow the excess mint coating to drip off before placing each cracker on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the crackers for 10 minutes or until the mint coating is set and firm.
- Add a White Chocolate Drizzle: In the meantime, melt the white baking chips in the microwave until smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled mint-coated crackers for a beautiful contrast.
- Sprinkle with Candy Canes: Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the white chocolate drizzle, adding a festive touch and extra crunch.
- Final Chill: Chill the crackers again for about 5 minutes or until the white chocolate has set.
- Store: Once set, store your Spearmint Thins in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy!
