Mint Chocolates
What to take along to a chilli & DVD extravaganza at a friend’s house last night – hmmmm. Some cooling After Chilli Mints came to mind, that along with some of my redcurrant vodka. I don’t have a terribly sophisticated palate when it comes to chocolate, plain dark chocolate doesn’t always quite do it for me. But I do like a really dark milk chocolate. So I thought I’d experiment with combining a dark and a milk to make these chocolates.
This is what I did:
- Melted 100g 70% dark chocolate with 100g 35% milk chocolate.
- Stirred until smooth, then allowed to cool slightly.
- Added 1 drop of peppermint essential oil & stirred to combine.
- Spooned mixture into moulds & left to harden.
Not really much more to add rather than: yum!

9th January 2010 at 6:16 pmReally good idea on mixing the milk and dark – I love the Green & Black milk chocolate because it is that bit darker. And these are so cute!

10th January 2010 at 6:06 pmHi Elisabeth
The chocolate moulds were actually butter moulds that were given to me many years ago. I never used them for butter, but do fish them out from time to time for chocolate. I guess it wouldn’t be hard to find chocolate moulds on the internet though.
Foodycat – I really like G&B milk chocolate too and used it in this recipe. My worry is what will I do if Cadbury’s gets taken over by Kraft!
