Method

  1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment and mix the sugar with the peppermint essence. When the chocolate has melted, cool for 1 min, mix with the sugar, then pour into the tray. Spread to a very thin layer and chill until completely firm. Snap into shards to serve. Perfect as a garnish for puddings or with an after-dinner coffee.

    This only took about 5 minutes worth of effort and tastes really good. A huge fan of mint dark chocolate so really pleased that I can create it myself now! Might try it with white chocolate next.

    So easy to do, I set the chocolate into a leaf mold and then put the chocolates into Christmas favor boxes on the dinner table. Worked out much cheaper and nicer than buying after dinner mints.

    Absolutely lovely - especially with coffee! As nice, if not nicer than brought chocolates, and a lot cheaper! (they are very like 'twighlight' chocolates) Will CERTAINLY be making these again!
