Easy Ritz Cracker Thin Mints
The quickest, most irresistible no-bake treat you’ll make this holiday season!

If you love the flavor of classic Thin Mints, wait until you try this easy 3-ingredient twist using Ritz crackers! These Easy Ritz Cracker Thin Mints are perfectly sweet, a little salty, and loaded with cool, chocolatey mint flavor. They’re the ultimate last-minute treat — no baking, no fuss, just melt, dip, and sprinkle!

Each buttery Ritz cracker gets dipped in silky milk chocolate and topped with crushed Andes Mint bits, giving them that perfect crunch with a refreshing hint of mint. They look festive, taste amazing, and come together in minutes — ideal for cookie trays, gifting, or snacking straight from the fridge.

Ingredients

• 1 sleeve Ritz crackers
• 2 cups milk chocolate melting wafers (or chocolate chips)
• ½ cup crushed Andes Mint baking bits or chopped Andes Mints

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. Dip the tops of each Ritz cracker into the melted chocolate, coating evenly on top.
4. Place each dipped cracker onto the parchment paper.
5. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the tops generously with Andes Mint bits.
6. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until firm.
7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Jennie’s Notes

These are a total lifesaver when you need a quick dessert that still looks festive and tastes incredible! The sweet milk chocolate paired with buttery crackers and minty bits gives the perfect balance of flavor — like a Thin Mint, but even better.

You can also make them with dark chocolate if you prefer a richer flavor or add a drizzle of white chocolate for an extra fancy touch. I love keeping a tin of these in the fridge all holiday season — they’re perfect with coffee or cocoa.

For extra minty flavor, mix a few drops of peppermint extract into the melted chocolate before dipping.

Storage & Serving

Store your Ritz Thin Mints in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature or 2 weeks in the fridge. They also freeze beautifully — just layer them with parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

These Easy Ritz Cracker Thin Mints are proof that delicious desserts don’t have to be complicated! With just three ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you’ll have a sweet, salty, minty treat that everyone will love. Perfect for cookie platters, holiday parties, or a cozy night in with a Christmas movie — these little bites of joy are as simple as they are addictive.
