Instructions
- Line a mini muffin tray with mini-muffin liners (you can double up to make them more stable). Set aside.
- Combine half of the chocolate and half of the coconut oil in a microwave-safe container. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst until completely melted.
- Evenly distribute the chocolate amongst the prepared liners.
- Refrigerate chocolate-filled liners for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add all mint-filling ingredients to a microwave-safe container. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between each burst, until melted and smooth.
- Remove tray from the fridge, evenly divide mint mixture over chocolate layer. Refrigerate for a further 15 minutes or until set firm.
- Melt the remaining chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second bursts until melted and smooth. Divide evenly over the mint layer.
- Refrigerate mint slices for at least 1 hour. Once firm, remove mint slices from muffin liners.
