Chocolate Coated Mint Leaves

After a big hearty meal, I like to wait awhile for dessert.

When I have guests, I pass around a plate with the chocolate

minted leaves. It's refreshng. The leaves hold their

shape well, and these could be for a decoration on any dessert.

6 ounces of Vahlrona chocolate

Mint leaves. I use fresh from the garden.

Melt the chocolate in a double broiler, stirring constantly.

Remove the bowl and continue to stir till the chocolate is

melted and smooth. Put wax paper or parchment on a cookie

sheet or tray. Put plastic wrap on a rolling pin. Take the

mint leaf by the stem and dip in chocolate, coating both sides. Put the leaf on the rolling pin to let dry. It's

not mandatory, but I think it retains a nice shape. Then

put the leaves in the freezer to set until frozen, and you

can put into a freezer bag until ready to use.
