The cookie that I am sharing with you today, is quick, easy and no bake. I’m not really sure that they qualify as a cookie, but they are very festive. And there are many possibilities with these Mint Thins.
Ingredients:
- Ritz Crackers
- Almond Bark
- Red and/or Green Candies, crushed
- Sprinkles
- And other decorations that you like
Directions:
Melt Almond Bark, dip Ritz cracker in melted chocolate, covering both sides, place on wax paper. Immediately top with crushed peppermint candy or sprinkles.
I forgot to get a picture of the Chocolate Almond Bark before I melted it, so I took a picture of the Vanilla that I had. You could use either, or even both would be very good.
These are called Mint Thins because of the mint candy on top. But, because my boys don’t really like mint, I decided to try some with sprinkles.

Another easy one to do with Ritz crackers is to make little “sandwiches” with two crackers with peanut butter between them, them dip them in the chocolate bark. You can even do the little Ritz bits with peanut butter minis and dip them as well, but I think the bigger ones are better for some reason.

I love how simple and delicious these look! Quick question. What exactly is almond bark? Is it block chocolate?

@Nutmeg Nanny, Yes, like the one in the picture. I buy it at Walmart, usually, it’s the cheapest, I pay $2.56 I think.

Save some for me! These sound wonderful! Your post reminds me of one of my favorite snacks each Christmas. I dip peanut butter Ritz Bits into the chocolate almond bark. I might have to try the Mint Thins this year.

These look so cute! I’ve made something similar, except with mine you make them into sandwich cookies with peanut butter in the middle. It’s so good! I’ve never thought of decorating them with sprinkles or anything though. I’ll have to try it some time in the future!
