I froze the slices for later. They were just as good when I defrosted them.

I used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. It gave the slices a more intense chocolate flavor.

These choc mint slices were an absolute delight! The combination of chocolate and mint was perfect, and the texture was just right - crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again.
