These sounded both easy to make and yummy HOWEVER...the chocolate wouldn't stick to the crackers. It was a mess. They sounded like they would be a snap only they were frustrating....but they were yummy!

Super easy to make. All my family and friends have asked for this recipe. I always double the mint for a stronger flavour. These are always a hit with both adults and children.

i have made these cookies the last few years and the family loves them. However i have discovered a few tricks that make them a tad easier to make. if you add 1/4 tbsp of crisco to the chocolate as it is melting, it thins it out and makes it alot easier to work with and it does not affect the taste. also, if you put a toothpick through the centre hole of each cracker it is easier to dip and makes alot less mess!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe! It's really quick and comes out so professional looking even the first time you make it!! I made them as part of a Christmas gift (in a decorative tin) and they were a HIT! Fast and easy although it seems like you spent hours doing it!!

I found it hard to dip the crackers into the chocolate, so ended up doing it half front and back rather than only on one side.

These were great! I melted my chocolate over a double boiler (I find that the microwave tends to over-heat chocolate). The chocolate stayed smooth the entire time I was dipping. I only got 20 cookies out of the batch of chocolate, however.

Another superbly easy and delicious recipe. My daughter is vegan so I used unsweetened dark choc and added sugar. She loved them... so did everyone else that tried them. All were shocked about the crackers. Not an expensive recipe either. Wonderful!!
