Grasshopper Chocolate Bark

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and I thought this Grasshopper Chocolate Bark would be the perfect way to celebrate! It combines two of my favorite things: Mint and Chocolate into a creamy, decadent treat.

You only need four ingredients and it’s really simple to make. You just need to melt the chocolate chips. Go the microwave route or whip out the double broiler – whichever you prefer. Add in some Andes Creme de Menthe Thins, a little Mint Extract and food coloring and you have the perfect mint chocolate treat! It’s so good you might need to make a double batch!



One thing to note though: There is a difference between Mint Extract and Peppermint Extract. They aren’t the same thing. Mint Extract is usually a blend of peppermint and spearmint. It’s a slightly milder, less menthol flavor. The Peppermint extract is 100% peppermint. Make sure you grab Mint Extract for your Grasshopper Chocolate Bark!
