I can’t wait to let David know February 19th is National Chocolate Mint Day #ChocolateMintDay. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like Chocolate Mint at all, but David loves Thin Mints which Charlie can take or leave. How about you?
I was thinking I might surprise David with this kid-friendly recipe for Chocolate Mint Candy which Charlie can help me make. Would you want to join us, and we can make extra for your friends and family as well? If so do you want Dark Chocolate or Mint Chocolate? David will not care what we use.
Kid-Friendly Chocolate Mint Candy Recipe – Presented by TheMommiesReviews.com — where cozy kitchens meet joyful family moments.
If you are looking for a sweet treat that’s easy, fun, and perfect for little helpers? I; would like to share a no-bake Chocolate Mint Candy recipe for you which are a delightful blend of creamy chocolate and refreshing mint, ideal for homeschool cooking lessons, party trays, or just a cozy afternoon in the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed)
- Optional: pastel sprinkles, crushed peppermint, mini chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Make the Mint Filling– In a bowl, mix powdered sugar, peppermint extract, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk. Stir until a soft dough forms. If too dry, add a tiny splash of milk. Kids can help knead and roll the dough.
2. Shape the Mint Centers– Roll the dough into small balls and flatten gently into discs. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
3. Melt the Chocolate- Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Adults handle the heating; kids can stir once cooled slightly.
4. Dip + Decorate– Dip each mint disc into the melted chocolate using a fork. Place back on parchment. Add sprinkles or crushed peppermint before the chocolate sets.
5. Chill + Enjoy– Refrigerate 10–15 minutes until firm. Store in an airtight container.
Tips for Little Bakers
- Add a drop of green food coloring to the mint filling.
- Use heart, flower, or star mini cookie cutters.
- Drizzle white chocolate on top for a bakery-style finish.
If you make this recipe leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the Candy and why.
Thank you,
