Description
Create irresistible chocolate and mint candy buttons with this easy recipe that combines dark chocolate and vanilla with a refreshing minty twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate morsels
- 1 cup vanilla baking chips
- 1 teaspoon mint essence
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/4 cup crushed mint candies (or crushed mint chocolate)
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking tray with a sheet of parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the dark chocolate morsels with half of the canola oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each interval until melted and silky.
- Spoon small dollops of the melted dark chocolate onto the lined tray, spaced about an inch apart.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, blend the vanilla baking chips with the remaining canola oil and the mint essence. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle the melted vanilla mixture over the dark chocolate dollops in a zigzag pattern.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the crushed mint candies and flaky sea salt over the top.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to firm up completely.
- Once hardened, gently peel the discs from the parchment paper and store in a sealed container at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the chocolate is completely melted for a smooth texture.
- Experiment with different types of crushed candies for varied flavors.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
