Easy No Bake White Chocolate Thin Mints
Easy No Bake White Chocolate Thin Mints ~ just four simple ingredients is all it takes to make these minty copy cat Girl Scout cookies ~ add them to your holiday cookie assortment!
If you’re busy and looking for a quick gift or dessert, you can’t go wrong with these. The white chocolate and peppermint looks so festive, and no one would ever guess its no-bake shortcut secret.
I’ve come to appreciate the virtues of white bark coating in place of finicky white chocolate in situations like this. And truth be told, I like the flavor better, it has a nice clear vanilla taste, where white chocolate can be cloying, at least to me. Anyway it’s a good choice when you want to coat something like a cookie or candy because it melts without any trouble and you can use flavorings without fear of it seizing up on you. Most stores carry it right by the regular baking chocolate.
Ingredients :
- a box of Nabisco Famous Wafer cookies (or another thin crisp chocolate cookie)
- 12 oz white bark coating (I used Kroeger's)
- 1/4 tsp oil based peppermint extract (water based flavoring can cause the chocolate to seize)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional) This thins the chocolate and makes for easier melting and dipping.
- about 10 peppermint candies, or candy canes, crushed (I used my small food processor)
Instructions :
- Cut the white bark coating into small pieces and put in a microwave safe bowl along with the oil or shortening, if using.
- Microwave for 1 minute, then remove the bowl and stir. If the chocolate hasn't melted, microwave again in 15 second bursts, stirring in between.
- When the chocolate is completely melted, stir in the extract.
