This candy is delicious and so easy! Based upon previous reviewers' advice, I used two teaspoons of peppermint extract. Next time, I will use Adnes mints.

Wonderful, easy recipe. Great for kids to help. I added about 6-7 crushed candy canes to the recipe instead of increasing the extract and it added a wonderful crunch and a little color to the cookies. Had the kids sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles which made them a nice Christmas cookie. My sister had to have the recipe.

These are really great, easy cookies to make. They truly only take a few minutes to make, even if you're doing it for the first time. I used Oreos for the cream filled cookies and the tasted really good! I definitely recommend these for parties and snacks because they are very easy to make. Tip: crush your cookies VERY well. Lesson: if you don't crush them well, the whole cookie will be very crumbly.

Excellent! Make these ahead of time as they crisp up nicely days later. (That's my experience with melted chocolate goodies in general.) Store in fridge, serve room temp. I omitted the peppermint extract and used a bag of hershey's kisses and whatever other scraps of chocolate I had in the pantry to equal 36 oz. Chocolate heaven!

Yum! Another simple recipe to add to my "repeat" list! Since I was using my oven for baking holiday cookies, I wanted to find a few "no bake" recipes to prepare while in the meantime. This took VERY little time or effort to put together. Using my extra large Tupperware bowl made prep a cinch! I used my double-boiler to melt my chocolate (didn't want it to scorch - bad memories...). I then added my melted chocolate to my cookie / cereal mixture, sealed my bowl and SHOOK LIKE CRAZY lol! I got exactly 32 "drop" cookies (used my tablespoon measuring spoon to make perfectly even-sized cookies). To speed the "setting" process, I placed my wax paper-lined cooling racks in the fridge for about an hour. Perfect! My hubby commented that he really liked these a LOT (and that's a HUGE plus!). Thanks for sharing an easy snack that even my hubby can enjoy! Altough a little sweet for my liking, these will become part of my holiday rotation because my hubby approves! :-)

I've actually been making these for a couple years now. They're incredible!! I do make a bit of a change though. Instead of the peppermint extract I exchange t bags of the chocolate chips for 2 bags of the Andes Mint Pieces. They taste just like Girl Scout Thin Mints!! The family LOVES them!!

I added a bit of crushed candy canes and doubled the peppermint extract, delicious. I also did half batch with semisweet chocolate and the other half with white chocolate, both were great.

This recipe is VERY rich. I chose to double the amount of peppermint extract (good idea). I also only made 1/2 of the recipe. The full recipe would have made way too many. I would also suggest making smaller, almost miniature size cookies. I believe a tablespoon size is much too big since the chocolate mixture is so rich.

These were SO tasty! I did add an extra teaspoon of peppermint and they were perfect. Thanks for the recipe, they made a great addition to the holiday cookie bags for my neighbors.
