Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside. Melt the chocolate in a large, shallow bowl in the microwave in 30 seconds intervals, until fully melted and smooth. Then stir in the peppermint extract.

One at a time, dip the Ritz crackers into the chocolate, coating them fully. Use a fork to lift them out, let the excess chocolate drip off, then slide them onto the parchment paper. Sprinkle either some crushed candy cane or sprinkles over the top while they are wet.

Let the chocolate harden and set. That's it!
