Mint Meltaways Recipe
- 12 ounces good quality dark (~65%) chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1-2 teaspoons mint extract (to taste)
- Confectioner's sugar (for coating), sifted
- Cut a piece of wax paper to line the bottom of the baking pan, and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water; or in the microwave in 10-second bursts. Add the salt and stir with a flexible rubber spatula for about a minute to incorporate the salt.
- Add the coconut oil to the warm chocolate and stir to combine. If the coconut oil is very cold, warm it up in the microwave first.
- Add the extract and stir to combine; it will take 2-3 minutes if the extract is alcohol-based, only a few stirs if it's oil-based. Pour into the prepared pan and allow to set until firm, at least 3 hours .
- When the mixture is set, dust the top with sifted confectioner's sugar and invert onto a parchment- or wax paper-lined cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1" x 1/2" pieces (or any size you desire). Dredge pieces in confectioner's sugar.
