Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 4 drops Green food coloring
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or shortening)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring until fully combined and the color is evenly distributed.
Spread the mint mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Place the pan in the freezer for 1 hour, or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Remove the firm mint layer from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Return the pan to the freezer for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into small squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Store the Chocolate Creme De Mints in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture.
