Chocolate Fish Mints

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint Filling

    In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, gelatin powder, and peppermint extract. Add water gradually until it forms a thick paste. If desired, add a drop of food coloring for a festive touch.

  2. 2

    Mold the Fish Shapes

    Using a fish-shaped mold, press the mint mixture into each cavity. Smooth the tops and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until set.

  3. 3

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

  4. 4

    Coat the Mints

    Remove the mint shapes from the mold and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them on parchment paper to set.

  5. 5

    Dust with Cocoa Powder

    Once the chocolate has set, lightly dust the chocolate fish mints with cocoa powder for an extra touch of flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve and Enjoy

    Your Chocolate Fish Mints are ready! Enjoy them as a sweet treat or package them for gifts.
