I had some trouble finding crème de menthe, but I was able to substitute it with green food coloring and mint extract.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of mint, but I'm so glad I did! The mint flavor is very subtle, and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate and ice cream.
