dark chocolate mint cream candies

by Jackie Newgent | March 7, 2024 | 1 Comment

One of my all-time favorite flavor combinations is chocolate and mint. I’m not sure what took me so long to create it, but I finally developed this dark chocolate mint cream candies recipe to satisfy my craving for that dynamic duo. You’ll likely notice that it’s inspired by Junior Mints and York Peppermint Patties. Of course, I think these hand-crafted candies are better than both. Let me know what you think!

My newest, really tasty, delightfully messy, totally comforting obsession is this pasta with sumac chickpeas, spinach, tomatoes and creamy mint-tahini sauce! It’s got plenty of creaminess with a variety of colors and textures. And it’s full of Mediterranean flavors. I find it kind of addictive (in a healthy way, of course)!

If you don’t already have a favorite fattoush salad, you need this fattoush with heirloom tomatoes in your life. It’s fresh, vibrant, and even fun. And for me, it’s quite comforting. I know, I know! Leafy salads aren’t usually thought of as comforting. But it is for me since fattoush is the first salad I ate as a child. And it’s the only one I actually liked until I was a teen and started to experiment with “diet” salads. (Yikes!)

It’s the time of year for showers, picnics, and other fun gatherings. So, this is also the time of year I create a new salad to serve for these joyful occasions. So, what’s in my new salad? Well, it’s a farro salad. But it’s way beyond just that. It’s full of refreshing ingredients, intriguing textures, lots of nutrition, and pops of color. It’s totally not one of those salad afterthoughts … it’ll be the star of the plate!
