INGREDIENTS:

1 lg. pkg. Oreo cookies
Mint oil (this is very strong)
1 pkg. Shari-chocolate candy squares

DIRECTIONS:

Melt chocolate candy in crock pot on low heat or in top of double boiler. If chocolate is too thick add 1 tablespoon Crisco shortening. Add a DROP of mint. Dip Oreo cookies in chocolate twice to coat well. Set on wax paper.

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup margarine or butter
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
3 beaten eggs
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS:
In a large saucepan, over low heat, melt margarine (or butter) with chocolate. Stir till smooth.
Remove from heat and cool. Add beaten eggs to cool chocolate mixture.
Sift enough flour to yield 2 measured cups of sifted flour. In a large bowl, mix together sifted flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and chopped walnuts.
Add flour mixture 1 cup at a time to the cooled chocolate mixture. Blend well until all the flour mixture disappears. NOTE: Dough will be very stiff, therefore adding one cup at a time will make mixing easier.
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before next step.
Heat oven to 300°. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; roll in powdered sugar and coat heavily. Place balls 2 inches apart on an un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 300° for 15 – 18 minutes or until edges are set. Remove from cookie sheet immediately. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
