Ingredients

Choc Mint Bites
  • 150g dark chocolate/milk chocolate melts
  • 10g copha/1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Variety of peppermint chocolate bars chopped into 5mm pieces. I have used Mint Patties, Peppermint Crisp, Mint Aero, Peppermint Kit Kat etc

Instructions

Choc Mint Bites
  1. Melt the chocolate and copha/coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl for 1 minute on medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
  2. Using a silicone mini muffin pan, spoon 1 teaspoon of chocolate into each mini muffin cup.
  3. Tap the muffin pan on the bench 3 times to evenly distribute the chocolate.
  4. Working quickly, fill each chocolate disk with peppermint chocolate pieces.
  5. Place in the fridge to set for a few minutes.
  6. Once the chocolate is set, you will be able to pop the peppermint chocolate discs out easily.

Notes

If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, you can spread the chocolate into a slice tray. Sprinkle the chopped up chocolate pieces over the top and chill in the fridge for 1 hour to set. Using a sharpe knife, cut into serving pieces when it has hardened.
