Peppermint Chocolate Cookie Crunch

This is a delicious recipe!  It is only four ingredients and is quick and easy,  It also makes a LOT – so be prepared to share!  If you use the ingredients below it is also preservative free.  (Yum and yeah!)

1 20 ounce package of Trader Joe’s Candy Cane sandwich cookies

3 packages of organic dark chocolate chip

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

4 cups crisp rice cereal

1) Crush cookies in large bowl to form small crumbs (they do not need to be “fine”).

2) Melt chocolate chips over low heat.  Add peppermint extract, stir until blended.

3) Remove from heat and add cookies and rice.

4) Drop by spoonful onto wax paper or buttered cookie sheet.  Cool until firm.
