Chocolate Mint Thins
So a day that starts with chocolate is always going to be a good day, am I right? I think so….I have played around with these for a while and am finally getting them on here! Love the little crunch you get from the whole grain component, love the little hit of salt you occasionally get if you use pink salt flakes…so really guys, go get some.
Using dark chocolate is pretty traditional with mint, but then so is orange (cue the doTERRA wild orange oil) or cinnamon. Or go with the Callebaut Gold chocolate and you have caramel mint thins...not going to get thinner by making those, but hello! DELISH!
The dipping of the biscuit can be problematic, so drizzling after the fact hides a lot of sins, but is entirely up to you my little chocolatiers!
Here are a few more of our naughty chocolate coated delectables for you to be getting all organised:
