The sweet chocolate, salty Ritz crackers, and cool peppermint in this Ritz Cracker Thin Mint Fudge go so well together. This is a great treat for the holidays or whenever you want something sweet and minty.

Ingredients: 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk. 1 teaspoon peppermint extract. 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, crushed. 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies.

Instructions: Use parchment paper to line an 8x8-inch square baking pan, leaving extra on two sides to make it easy to take off. Put the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl that can go in the microwave. To make the chocolate melt completely and the mixture smooth, microwave the mixture for 30 seconds at a time and stir it after each one. It's time to add the peppermint extract to the chocolate mix. Add the crushed Ritz crackers slowly and mix them in until they are evenly covered with the chocolate mixture. Put the fudge mixture into the baking pan that has been prepared. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies should be sprinkled on top of the fudge and pressed into it a little. Set the fudge in the fridge for at least two hours, or until it is firm. Use the extra piece of parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan after it has set. Serve the fudge by cutting it into squares or rectangles. Have fun!
