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.

ingredients

1 ounce semisweet chocolate
12 large fresh mint leaves

directions

Melt the chocolate. Smooth the chocolate onto the face of the mint leaves with a flat knife or spatula. Place the leaves onto wax paper with the green side down, and into the refrigerator.

When the chocolate has hardened, carefully peel the leaf off the chocolate mint and discard the mint leaves. Refrigerate the chocolate leaves until serving time.

  1. Valerie REVIEW:

    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!
