Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture for your kisses, make sure to melt the chocolate slowly and evenly over low heat.
- When mixing the melted chocolate with the peppermint extract, do so gradually to avoid curdling.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Chill the chocolate mixture thoroughly before shaping it into balls to ensure they hold their shape.
- If you find the chocolate mixture is too soft to handle, place it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm it up.
- For a fun variation, try dipping the chocolate kisses in crushed candy canes or chopped nuts before rolling them in cocoa powder.
