Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 20 Oreo cookies
Main Chocolate:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semisweet chocolate
Flavoring:
- 2–3 drops crème de menthe oil flavoring or peppermint oil flavoring
Instructions
- Disassemble the Oreo cookies with precision, carefully separating the chocolate wafers from the cream filling. Reserve the wafers for the recipe, setting aside the cream for alternative culinary adventures or spontaneous snacking.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gently melting semisweet chocolate using microwave techniques. Utilize 50% power, stirring periodically to prevent scorching and ensure a luxurious, glossy consistency. Alternatively, employ a double boiler method for traditional chocolate tempering.
- Infuse the molten chocolate with mint flavoring, whisking thoroughly to distribute the refreshing essence evenly throughout the liquid chocolate. Ensure a consistent and vibrant minty profile that will transform the simple cookie into a decadent treat.
- Employ a fork as your dipping instrument, submerging each chocolate wafer completely into the mint-infused chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to cascade off by delicately tapping the fork’s edge against the bowl, creating an impeccably smooth chocolate coating.
- Arrange the chocolate-drenched wafers onto a parchment-lined baking sheet with meticulous care. Position each cookie strategically to prevent touching, then transition the sheet to the refrigerator for rapid chocolate solidification.
- Chill the thin mints for approximately 10-15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set into a crisp, glossy shell. Once firm, these mint-infused delicacies are ready to be savored and shared.
