Another fun holiday garnish idea! Simply melt chocolate and spread on fresh mint leaves. Once the chocolate sets you can remove the mint and they are ready to use.

A couple of tips: use leaves with really defined (jagged) edges for the best look. Larger leaves work better but the smaller leaves are more often better shaped. Don't let any of the chocolate get on the underside of the leaf or it may tear when you remove it. The chocolate, once set, will melt if you handle it too much so work quickly when removing the leaves. The chocolate will retain a slight mint flavor but it's very mild (I was hoping they'd be more minty!). This was a fun project!
