Spearmint Crunch Recipes

ANDES PEPPERMINT CRUNCH CHUNKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
• Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
• On low speed, add baking soda and salt, and then flour. Mix completely.
• Stir in oats, coconut, pecans, and Andes baking chips.
• Measure out 2 tablespoons for large or 1 tablespoons for small cookies. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet two inches apart. Press lightly with a fork so they are about 1/4 thick (like peanut butter cookies).
• Sprinkle some of the remaining chips (from the 10 oz. bag) on top of each cookie.
• Bake for 20 minutes for large cookies or 12-15 minutes for small. Do not overbake.

PEPPERMINT CRUNCH COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well blended. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls. Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 5 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave vanilla chips and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil uncovered on Medium (50%) 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once halfway through microwaving, until melted. Stir until smooth.
• Dip half of each cookie into melted chips mixture, allowing excess to drip off; place on waxed or parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon crushed candy. Let stand until set.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT CRUNCH

Steps:

Spread to desired thickness on prepared pan., Refrigerate until firm. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

PEPPERMINT CRUNCHES

Steps:

• You can use more or fewer candy canes, depending on your taste. I like to use a ratio of 25 percent candy cane and 75 percent chocolate. Use a rolling pin to crush the candy canes into small pieces and crumbs. Mix the candy into a bowl of tempered dark chocolate and stir with a spoon. Drop dollops of the chocolate candy onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. When the chocolate sets, the candies are ready to eat.
