Let's talk about the ingredients and candy making supplies you'll need for this project.
Merckens chocolate melts
It might be tempting to grab a bag of chocolate chips from the grocery store but that type of chocolate needs to be tempered (a special melting process) or it won't set up properly.
You'll want to use Merckens chocolate melts for this project, they're designed to be melted in the microwave without any special melting process and used for dipping or pouring into chocolate molds.
Staying true to thin mint cookie tradition we used Merckens Dark Chocolate Melts for this project, but you can experiment with any flavor you'd like.
We like to finish off these thin mint cookies with a drizzle of Merckens dark green chocolate melts, but you can drizzle with any colors you like.
LorAnn Peppermint Flavor Oil
The delicious minty goodness in this recipe is added using LorAnn peppermint flavoring oil. It's an oil based flavoring so it won't thicken the consistency of the chocolate.
Ritz Crackers
The magic of this recipe, the ingredient that gets everyone talking...Ritz crackers! They offer the perfect texture and saltiness needed to mimic the famous thin mint cookie wafer. Friends and family are always amazed when they find out that the base of this cookie recipe is a Ritz cracker.
