Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (10 ounces / 283 grams) Andes mint baking chips or 2 packages (4.67 ounces / 132 grams each) Andes mint candies
- 48 round butter-flavored crackers
Decorative Ingredients:
- ½ cup white baking chips
- 2 candy canes, crushed
Coating/Melting Ingredients:
- None specified
Instructions
- Prepare a microwave-safe bowl and carefully melt the Andes mint baking chips, stirring periodically to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Carefully submerge each butter-flavored cracker into the melted mint mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coverage while allowing excess coating to gently drip away.
- Transfer the mint-coated crackers onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet, creating a single layer without touching each other.
- Refrigerate the cracker sheet for approximately 10 minutes, allowing the mint coating to solidify and create a crisp exterior.
- While the crackers chill, melt the white baking chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl, stirring until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Remove the chilled crackers from the refrigerator and artfully drizzle the melted white chocolate across the surface, creating delicate, decorative patterns.
- Immediately scatter crushed candy canes over the white chocolate drizzle, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere and provide a festive, crunchy element.
- Return the decorated crackers to the refrigerator for an additional 5 minutes to set the white chocolate completely.
- Once fully set, carefully transfer the Spearmint Thins to an airtight container, preserving their crisp texture and delightful flavor for enjoyment.
Notes
- Melt Andes mint chips carefully in the microwave, stirring frequently to prevent burning and ensure smooth consistency.
- Use butter-flavored crackers as the crispy base, completely coating each one in melted mint mixture for full flavor coverage.
- Chill crackers between coating layers to help set the chocolate and create a firm, professional-looking finish.
- Drizzle white chocolate over mint-coated crackers for a delightful visual and taste contrast that elevates the treat.
- Crush candy canes immediately after white chocolate drizzle to ensure they stick and add a festive, crunchy texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness and prevent moisture from softening the crackers.
