Ritz Mint without the Mint

This simple but contrasting flavor makes it a different treat. If you prefer simplicity over the unnecessary complexities in a dish and you want no-bullshit, to the point food, try this. There are only two ingredients: Ritz crackers (yes crackers) and Wilton chocolate chips. You simply melt the chocolate in a double broiler or simmer water in a pot and place a heatproof bowl over it and melt the chocolate. Then coat the crackers in the chocolate. Let it sit and dry on parchment paper for 20 to 30 minutes. The saltiness of the cracker really comes out. My boyfriend didn't really like the flavor, but he enjoyed the contrast in flavors. I think it's great because it's a new twist to regular crackers, and the perfect ingredients to have on hand. It quickly transforms into a snack.
