Jumbo Junior Mints
If you have fond memories of savoring a box of Junior Mints at the movie theatre, this 3-ingredient version will most definitely hit the (mint-chocolatey) sweet spot.
Ingredients
- ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 10 marshmallows
- A few drops of peppermint extract
- Mint leaves, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips in the microwave or double boiler. Add in a few drops of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
- Start with just one drop, mix and taste, then add more as needed. The extract is potent so go slow when adding it into the chocolate to avoid overdoing it.
- Dip the top portion of the marshmallows into the chocolate and set on a tray or parchment paper.
- You can enjoy them while the chocolate is melty and warm, or let them firm in the fridge. Garnish with optional mint leaves.
