Serious Efforts: adding flavouring to melted chocolate?

Apologies for cross post, I put this in 'Food and Drink by accident'

Hi Eaters,

I am making a homemade version of Girl Scout thin mints. I've gotten as far as making the cookie, but upon tasting them, they're not very 'minty'. The only step left is melting chocolate and butter and coating the cookies. Here's my question. Can I add more peppermint extract to the melted chocolate? Or will this cause it to seize? I'm not very experienced workoing with chocolate.

Also, I have some shortening, will this work better with the chocolate than melted butter for a cookie coating?
