Ingredients:  
12 ounces of chocolate almond bark (about 6 squares)
1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
1-1/2 to 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
Finely crushed peppermints, sanding sugars, sprinkles or other cookie decor, optional
Directions:
Directions:
Line 2 or 3 sheet pans with wax paper and place into the freezer to chill pans. This is optional, but a well chilled pan will help the chocolate to set better. Break up the chocolate to just a rough chop and place into the top of a double boiler. Melt the chocolate, stirring regularly, until smooth. Quickly stir in the peppermint extract and mix well to fully incorporate. Hold the chocolate over a low simmer and give it a stir occasionally.
Remove one pan from the freezer. Drop a cracker into the melted chocolate with the top side up and using a pair of tongs or a dipping tool, swish the cracker around in the chocolate, then turn it over and swish it around again. Hold the cracker up and tap the tongs on the side of the pot, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the pot. Transfer the cookie to the wax paper, top side down, and sprinkle on any decorations, while they are wet. This is where another helper comes in handy.
When ready to move on to the next sheet, retrieve the other pan from the freezer and continue the process. Let cookies set completely and transfer to a closed container for storing.
