SILLY EASY CHOCOLATE CREME DE MENTHE PUDDING
I was making up a box of sugar free pudding and spotted the bottle of creme de menthe on the shelf. It wouldn't let me ignore it and I thought 'hmm, I wonder' and added a bit into the mix. It worked and turned normal chocolate pudding into something lush tasting. I could see it being the base of easy 'grown up' parfaits and that sort of thing too.

CREME DE MENTHE BARS
his is a very easy recipe. My son won a purple ribbon (which is higher than a blue ribbon) at the county fair when he was 10 years old. This was also his first paid 'catering' job for a graduation party when he was 12 (he's married now, so that gives you a clue as to how long I've had this recipe). Great brownies with a mint flavored filling.

CHOCOLATE-MINT POTS DE CREME
Courtesy of Mary Engelbreit's You're Invited Cookbook These pots de creme are simple (they're glorified chocolate pudding) yet special (the most glorious chocolate pudding). Any good liqueur can stand in for creme de menthe. Serve the pots with delicate silver teaspoons. Pinkies up!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- In the top of a double boiler over gently simmering water, melt the chocolate. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the half and half and cream and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
- Place the egg yolks and creme de menthe in a blender. Pour the melted chocolate into the blender and add the cream mixture. Blend on medium speed 15 to 20 seconds, until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the mixture into eight 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups, filling each one about two-thirds full. Place the ramekins in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Place the pan in the oven and pour in enough boiling water to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake about 40 minutes, or until the custard is set.
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Garnish each pot de creme with raspberries and mint leaves.
