Ingredients

100 g (½ cup) plain chocolate
90 g (6 tbsp plus a bit more) brown sugar
3 sprigs of fresh spearmint (about 10 leaves)
1 large egg - I used a duck egg
100 g (½ cup) wholemeal spelt flour
¼ tsp baking powder

Instructions

Melt the chocolate over a bowl of hot water (or a double boiler on medium low).
Whizz the sugar, in a blender or food processor, with the mint until the leaves are finely chopped.
Beat in the egg.
Mix in the melted chocolate.
Sift in the flour and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
Leave to cool and rest for an hour.
Spoon teaspoonfuls onto a baking tray lined with a silicone mat or baking paper (parchment paper, not wax paper).
Bake at 170℃ (325℉, Gas 3) for 10 mins.
Leave to cool for a couple of minutes then lift onto a wire rack to cool completely.
