MILK CHOCOLATE MINT SLICE

Milk+Chocolate+Mint+Slice

Chocolate mint by far is my favourite flavour of all flavours in the history of the world.  I may have mentioned that here once before. 

My mother got us started early on this chocolate and mint flavour combination obsession. Every year when there was a special occasion, she would receive a box of Laura Secord frosted mints. We would savour that box.

Most of the recipes that I develop at Living Lotus Chocolate are dark chocolate. But I decided to have fun with some “milk” chocolate as a nod to those special frosted mints (minus the unhealthier ingredients). 

This one is a three-parter so it will take some elbow grease. 

The best part? You can use these recipes separately. The crust can be used as a cookie recipe. The mint layer a frosting or really anything you can think of. The top layer definitely a pudding or it would be amazing on top of waffles.
