Cookies

My culinary life will never be the same.

My friend Adam was telling me about these cookies he used to eat as a child. Basically, they were some kind of peppermint creme between two Ritz crackers and dipped in chocolate. I thought, how can I replicate these cookies, and then it hit me. Peppermint patties. I made these for Adam, his sister, and another of our friends one night and they LOVED them. Since then, I have made about 15 dozen or so...I'm giving them to my co-workers for the Christmas holidays. So here's the now infamous recipe:

Ingredients:

• Ritz crackers
• Peppermint Patties (I used Pearson's - they are slightly smaller and fit better on the cracker)
• Chocolate bark coating
• Non-stick foil
  

Instructions: Melt one package of chocolate bark coating over a double boiler (or in the microwave). Place peppermint patties between two Ritz crackers and microwave for a few seconds to soften the peppermint patties. Press down on the cracker until the peppermint patty spreads to the edges of the cracker. Dip in melted chocolate and remove carefully with a fork, letting all excess chocolate drain. Place on non-stick foil to cool and harden. One package of chocolate bark coating should make five dozen cookies.
