COPYCAT FANTASTIC CHOCOLATE MINT FRANGOS



Copycat Fantastic Chocolate Mint Frangos image

Mmmmm! These Frangos will melt in your mouth! They are so easy to make and also make great gifts. After cutting the Frangos into small pieces, I individually wrap each piece in pretty cellophane paper, and then place all pieces in either a cool coffee mug, a pretty box, or a lovely bag. I then take a colorful recipe card and write out the recipe to include with the gift because people always ask me for it once they have tasted these! Please note that the prep time does not include chill time.

ERIKA'S "FRANGO" MINTS



Erika's

This recipe was passed on to my mom from her dear friend Erika Brooks who was an amazing cook, baker, and cake decorator in 1984. This recipe is based on the famous Frango® candy that was sold at the Bon Marche in Seattle, WA. I have substituted other extracts for different flavors. If I want a pretty look, I pipe the chocolate into small candy papers with a pastry tip. The result is a soft smooth chocolate candy.

FRANGO MINTS



Frango Mints image

Those wonderful, delectable, melt-in-your-mouth chocolates...those of you in the Northwest, especially, will recognize these candies. The recipe comes from a cookbook put out by volunteers and employees of a hospital in Washington state. Delish!! The number of mints you get, depends on how big you make them. I usually make them the size of a quarter or thereabouts. Refrigeration time is not listed.

FRANGO MINT CUPS



Frango Mint Cups image

In case you don't know what a Frango Mint is, it is creamy smooth chocolate through and through. The Bon Marche in the Seattle, Wa. area made these mints exlusively. Very popular especially around Christmas as gifts. Those that moved away would ask friends to send them some. They are that good. The Bon Marche is now Macy's,...

FROZEN CHOCOLATE "FRANGO" MINTS



Frozen Chocolate

This recipe came from our yacht club news letter. We don't have a sailboat there anymore, but we are still members. I don't care so much about what's in the flier except for the recipes! This one is really nice, but must remain frozen. We use the name "Frango" loosely around this area. True Frangos were developed and sold by the now out-of-business local Frederick & Nelson Dept. Store. We miss them. I'm thinking of using orange extract, raspberry extract, there are many possibilities! This recipe calls for 18 cupcake liners, which in my opinion would make for HUGE Frangos, so I used candy foil liners. It will make about double if candy liners are used!

Time 1h15m

Yield 18 candy liner cups, 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
3 unsweetened chocolate squares, melted
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
vanilla wafer crumbs
5 egg yolks
18 foil liners, for candy

Steps:

  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add melted chocolate and continue beating until thoroughly mixed.
  • Add egg yolks and beat again until fluffy.
  • Beat in peppermint extract.
  • Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon cookie crumbs into candy liners and top with chocolate mixture.
  • Freeze for at least 1 hour. Serve straight from the freezer and re-freeze leftover. You can top these with maraschino cherries, crushed candy canes, even whipped cream, but not necessary. (For a more decadent dessert, serve in pre-made chocolate shells instead of candy liners.
