If watched
carefully, you can melt the chocolate in a
microwave oven.
Makes about 3 dozen
1 12 oz. Bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tblspn. Vegetable oil
1 tsp. mint extract, perhaps a bit more to
taste
Place the chips in the top of a double
boiler and over simmering water, melt the
chips. When they are about halfway melted,
add the oil and the extract.
Continue
to melt the chips, stirring to combine well
the chocolate, the oil and the
extract.
Remove the mixture from the heat and allow
it to cool for about 15 minutes or
so, or until the chocolate has started to
thicken just a bit.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet
tray, and using a soup spoon, pour
coin shaped discs onto the parchment paper.
Use all of the chocolate to make
"coins".
Allow the coins to harden and then simply
peel them off the paper and enjoy.
Note: try other flavors like almond, and
vanilla as well. |
