Tips:

  • Choose fresh mint: Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can substitute dried mint, but use only half the amount.
  • Chill the chocolate: Chilling the chocolate before dipping the cookies helps the chocolate set more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Some popular options include crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
  • Be patient: Dipping the cookies in chocolate can be a time-consuming process, but it's worth it for the delicious results.
