Thin Mint Crackers

Step 1
Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just barely simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula, until chocolate is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Do not get any water into the chocolate.

Step 2
While the chocolate is melting, line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set in the freezer to chill.

Step 3
Remove melted chocolate from the stove and stir in peppermint extract.

Step 4
Dip crackers into melted chocolate and then place on the cold, prepared baking sheets. Set the baking sheets in the refrigerator until chocolate sets, about 5 minutes.

Step 5
Package cookies in candy cups if desired. Store at room temperature or in a cool, dry place away from any odors.
