Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 drops green food coloring
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles or crushed candy canes (optional for decoration)
Instructions
Prepare a mini muffin tin by lining the cups with mini paper liners or lightly greasing them. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate mixture into each muffin cup, spreading evenly to make a thin chocolate layer. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
While the first chocolate layer is setting, clean the bowl and combine the white chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Stir the peppermint extract, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and green food coloring into the melted white chocolate mixture. Mix until smooth and evenly colored.
Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator and spoon about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of the mint mixture on top of the chocolate layer, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
Add a final thin layer of melted semisweet chocolate over the mint layer, using any remaining chocolate from earlier or melting a bit more if needed.
Optionally, top each meltaway with sprinkles or crushed candy canes for decoration before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to fully set. Once firm, remove the paper liners from the chocolate mint meltaways if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
