gluten-free "thin Mints"

[Ruth]

This came from a celiac newsletter from Boston's Children's Hospital Celiac Newsletter:

Close your eyes, and they taste like the real thing!

gluten-free Thin Mints

40 Round gluten-free crackers (I used Casabe Rainforest crackers plain flavor)

1/2 Cup chocolate chips (I used more)

10 drops peppermint extract (I used more approx. 1/2 tsp.)

Melt choc. chips in microwave or double boiler

add peppermint extract and stir

dip crackers to coat (using a spoon helps!)

put on waxed paper on a cookie sheet & place in refrig. or freezer for about 1/2 hour

Enjoy!!

(store in refrig.)

I posted that awhile back but I use the BiAglut crackers with the scalloped edge. I just bought a pkg of the rainforest crackers-- the plain ones. Different!!!! Do you use the flavored ones also and are they better tasting than the plain ones? Of course I realize you use the plain for for the thin mint cookies.

The plain ones reminded me of eating cardboard not that I eat cardboard.

gluten-free thin mint are the best..............

I bet ifyou dip in some melted marshmellow too it be even better....

The Casabe Rainforest Crackers are gross... all the flavors!

But, the plain ones work well for the Thin Mint recipe.

I agree... ANYTHING dipped in chocolate tastes great!

Hope everyone is enjoying their cookies.

(I used semi-sweet too!)
