These chocolate mint treasures are too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try making them with dark chocolate next time.

I was a bit skeptical about making these chocolate mint treasures because I'm not a huge fan of mint. But I was pleasantly surprised! The mint flavor is subtle and perfectly complements the chocolate.
