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.

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.

FRANGO MINT PIES



Frango Mint Pies image

My mom gave me this recipe, which she got from my aunt who lives in Seattle. I guess Frango Mints are popular treats in the Northwest. They are called pies even though you make them using muffin tins. This dessert is one of my absolute favorites. As an option you can top each "pie" with vanilla wafer crumbs. We have never made them this way, but that is what the original recipe suggests as an option. They can be made ahead of time and last quite awhile in the freezer. Cook time includes freeze time.

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.
