Very minty but not bad. Some restaurants offer them as you leave. A
complimentary mint.

Just buy 8 more pounds of chocolate to add to it and problem solved. That's
if 20 - 30 drops equal 1/2 tsp.?

Nahhh, I'm gonna call it a learning experience, and hopefully never do it again!! I tasted one and it was AWFUL!! Too much mint and not enough sugar to balanace it! Really terrible. Almost put me off mints totally! But I have to remember that when made properly, mint in candy can be delicious!

I've wasted entire batches of candy that didn't turn out right before. I just try not to do that, but it happens sometimes!

I detest mint in any form, won't even use mint toothpaste. Chocolate
belongs with raspberry, chocolate covered candied orange peel is
wonderful. All is not lost... chocolate with mint is for freshening
terlit bowls.

The raspberry ones in the other thread have got John Kuthe very excited.
I can imagine that when he looks at them, he fantasizes about little
girls making poopoos.

I'm sure that no one expected you to admit it, but guys like you like little
girls to poop for them so that they can point out that the diameter of their
penis (at least the glans) "isn't any bigger than the poopoo you just made,"
to overcome objections about the penis being to large to "fit."

Deny, deny, deny. Heck, I would, but I doubt that many here are going to
buy it.

And that's the thing about personal preference. I don't like chocolate
with fruit. I like mint.

Neither of us is wrong.

Well, the chocolate mint on the hotel pillow is customary for a reason. Two feel good relaxant botanicals, cocoa and mint, together! Super chill!! Helps the digestion too! :-)

And if you don't like fruit with chocolate, you would really hate my Chocolate Covered Cherries! Upcoming this year!! :-) I have ALL the crucial ingredients!! :-)
