Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams White chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Mint extract
- 4 drops Green food coloring
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Be careful to avoid burning.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate using the same 30-second interval method, stirring until smooth.
Mix the mint extract and green food coloring into the melted white chocolate until the color is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt to the green-colored white chocolate. Stir thoroughly to create a slightly thick consistency. This will serve as the mint layer.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, drop tiny dollops of the green mint mixture onto the melted semi-sweet chocolate, leaving some space between each dollop.
Using a toothpick, swirl the green mint mixture slightly into the chocolate base, creating a marble effect for a fun design.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Once set, break or cut the chocolate into small chip-sized pieces. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Use the mint chocolate chips for baking cookies, as toppings for ice cream, or as a refreshing snack on their own.
