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

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.
Tips:
- Choose tender, light-colored leaves that hold a healthy green hue. Avoid wilted or bruised leaves.
- Opt for organic leaves to minimize pesticide exposure.
- Thoroughly wash the leaves under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Pat the leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Use silicone molds or ice cube trays to create uniform and aesthetically pleasing chocolate mints.
- If desired, add a drop of food coloring to the melted chocolate for a pop of color.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use bittersweet or semisweet chocolate.
- To add a refreshing twist, sprinkle some finely chopped mint leaves on top of the melted chocolate before freezing.
- Keep the chocolate mints in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
