Ingredients
- 20 crisp chocolate wafer cookies
- 12 oz white confectionary wafers or bark coating you can also use white chocolate, see notes.* I don't recommend using white chocolate chips because they don't tend to melt well.
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil or shortening optional. This thins the chocolate and makes for easier melting and dipping.
- crushed peppermint**
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. Note: if your chocolate is thick, add more coconut oil or shortening to thin it down.
- Dip the cookies, one at a time, face down into the chocolate. Use a fork to gently flip it over and completely coat it. Lift the cookie out with the fork and tap off any excess coating. Set it down on waxed or parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint while the chocolate is wet.
- Note: Be gentle when you dip the cookies, they are very fragile. If the chocolate cools down and thickens, gently reheat it.
- Allow the cookies to firm up before stacking or packaging.

Notes
- *If you decide to use real white chocolate:
- **You can use readymade crushed peppermint or crush your own. To crush your own:
- Chop it finely.
- Melt over a double boiler.
- Use an oil based peppermint extract, any water may cause the chocolate to seize up.
- Put candy in a zip lock baggie and lay flat on a hard surface.
- Use a mallet, meat pounder, or rolling pin to gently crush the candy.
