FRANGO MINTS

Those wonderful, delectable, melt-in-your-mouth chocolates...those of you in the Northwest, especially, will recognize these candies. The recipe comes from a cookbook put out by volunteers and employees of a hospital in Washington state. Delish!! The number of mints you get, depends on how big you make them. I usually make them the size of a quarter or thereabouts. Refrigeration time is not listed.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE "FRANGO" MINTS

Frozen Chocolate

This recipe came from our yacht club news letter. We don't have a sailboat there anymore, but we are still members. I don't care so much about what's in the flier except for the recipes! This one is really nice, but must remain frozen. We use the name "Frango" loosely around this area. True Frangos were developed and sold by the now out-of-business local Frederick & Nelson Dept. Store. We miss them. I'm thinking of using orange extract, raspberry extract, there are many possibilities! This recipe calls for 18 cupcake liners, which in my opinion would make for HUGE Frangos, so I used candy foil liners. It will make about double if candy liners are used!

Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon cookie crumbs into candy liners and top with chocolate mixture.
