ERIKA'S "FRANGO" MINTS
This recipe was passed on to my mom from her dear friend Erika Brooks who was an amazing cook, baker, and cake decorator in 1984. This recipe is based on the famous Frango® candy that was sold at the Bon Marche in Seattle, WA. I have substituted other extracts for different flavors. If I want a pretty look, I pipe the chocolate into small candy papers with a pastry tip. The result is a soft smooth chocolate candy.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE "FRANGO" MINTS
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!

Steps:
- Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add melted chocolate and continue beating until thoroughly mixed.
- Add egg yolks and beat again until fluffy.
- Beat in peppermint extract.
- Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon cookie crumbs into candy liners and top with chocolate mixture.
- Freeze for at least 1 hour. Serve straight from the freezer and re-freeze leftover. You can top these with maraschino cherries, crushed candy canes, even whipped cream, but not necessary. (For a more decadent dessert, serve in pre-made chocolate shells instead of candy liners.
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 MINT DESSERT
"This is adapted from my great-aunt's recipe for grasshopper pie. It came about by accident, as I put in too much mint extract. To cut the mint taste with something gooey and chocolaty, I ended up flipping the whole pie upside-down on top of a brownie crust." Sarah Newman - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

Tips
- To achieve the perfect mint flavor, use fresh mint leaves instead of extracts or flavorings. - For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. - Chill the chocolate mixture thoroughly before dipping the mints. This will help the chocolate to set quickly and smoothly. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate immediately hardens, it is ready to use. - Work quickly when dipping the mints. The chocolate will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to get all of the mints coated. - If you want to add a festive touch, you can sprinkle the mints with crushed candy canes or colored sprinkles before the chocolate sets. - Store the mints in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.Conclusion
