Quick Hot Mint Chocolate

unikatissima Quick Hot Mint Chocolate

Links of entry

Recently I tried something that I really enjoyed: hot mint chocolate.
To this you heat the milk and stir in the mint coins* until they dissolved.
I used two pieces and it’s been rather sweet, but I think that depends on the used mint coins* and your taste ;-)

* mint coins are chocolate covered mint fondant fillings, a kind of After Eight Mints, but thicker and in the shape of a coin

By the way this hot mint chocolate goes wonderfully with this year’s lace knitter’s Advent calendar which starts today ;-))

I presented an orange peel box before, but because I’ve found better basic instructions (English Google translation), because it’s time for oranges again and this here is painted and not cut out I decided to make this second entry ;-)

Chocolate Advent Calendar

Ok, it’s still some time until Advent, but you may want to practice a little before!?
I have seen this Advent Calendar mould for pralinées, where you cast in chocolate yourself.
Here you can already buy ready-made Advent calendars in the supermarkets, some are very inexpensive, why shouldn’t you take one of those, take away the cheap chocolate and fill again with the preferred chocolate of the addressee, e.g. dark chocolate?
I haven’t tried it yet, but I think that I will ;-)
