These are the simplest, yet possibly the yummiest, thing to make as an after-dinner palate cleanser or in lieu of dessert for the calorie conscious. Also a great vegan treat.

Time 55m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 bunch fresh mint leaves
1 (4 ounce) bar dark chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Wash mint leaves and thoroughly pat dry.
  • Place chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Dip each mint leaf halfway into the melted chocolate, dragging it in one direction, then flipping it and dragging it back the other way. Place on a sheet of parchment paper and let stand at room temperature or in the refrigerator until set.
