I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a food processor. Do you think I could make it without one?

I'm not usually a fan of mint chocolate, but these slices were surprisingly good. The chocolate was rich and the mint was subtle.

These choc-mint slices were absolutely delicious! The combination of chocolate and mint is always a winner, and these slices were no exception. They were also very easy to make, which is always a bonus.
