Mint Chocolates Recipe

Aarthi
Mint chocolates are bite-sized delights filled with a soft, peppermint-flavored cream and coated in a rich chocolate shell. These are super easy to make at home, require no fancy tools (though a silicone mould helps), and taste just like the ones you’d buy from a store. Think peppermint patties or After Eight-style chocolates but homemade with love! This recipe is a great go-to if you're craving something chocolatey with a fresh twist. You only need a few simple ingredients and a little patience to let things chill in between. Whether you’re making them for yourself or as edible gifts, they always bring smiles.

Equipment

  • Silicon Chocolate Mould
  • Sauce Pan
  • Heat safe bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate

For Filling

  • 1 cup Icing Sugar (Confectioners Sugar)
  • 2 tablespoon Heavy Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter melted
  • ¼ teaspoon Green Food Colour
  • 2 drops Edible Peppermint Oil

Instructions
 

  • Pre-Prep Stage - Start by gathering all ingredients and making sure the butter is melted and the cream is at room temperature. Chop the chocolate and keep your moulds or mini paper cups ready. If using moulds, lightly grease them with a drop of oil.
  • Making the Mint Filling - In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of icing sugar with 2 tablespoons of cream and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Mix until it becomes smooth and pasty. Add a few drops of green food colour and 2 drops of peppermint oil. Mix well. Taste and adjust the mint if needed.
  • Melting the Chocolate - Take 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Place this over a pot of simmering water and stir gently until fully melted. Don’t overheat.
  • Assembling in Mould - Spoon a little melted chocolate into each mould. Swirl it around to coat the base and sides. Chill in the fridge for 5–10 minutes to set. Add a spoonful of the mint filling in the centre. Cover with more melted chocolate and smooth the top. Pop back in the fridge for at least 2–3 hours.
  • No-Mould Method - Add a bit more icing sugar to the filling mixture until it forms a soft dough. Roll into small balls. Dip each ball into melted chocolate, place on a tray lined with parchment, and refrigerate until set.
