Mock Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies

These are good, but not really the same as Thin Mints, but in a pinch they work. Thought this was an interesting recipe on its own.

• 3  drops  peppermint oil (I use Lorann Oils that I buyat Wal-Mart)

3. Stir in the peppermint oil and the shortening.
4. Dip Ritz crackers in chocolate cover completely.
