Ingredients

1 cup Chocolate Chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon peppermint extract Can sub for peppermint stevia

Instructions

Line a 12 count mini muffin tray with muffin pans and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, melt half the chocolate chips. Pour the melted chocolate into each muffin pan, around half an inch or so. Place in the refrigerator.
While the chocolate is firming up, melt your white chocolate. Moving quickly, stir through your peppermint extract until combined.
Take the muffin tin out of the fridge and evenly distribute the peppermint cream amongst the twelve cups and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or until the mint center has firmed up slightly.
Once firm, melt the remaining chocolate and evenly distribute it amongst all the cups. Refrigerate until firm. Once firm, remove the junior mint cups and enjoy!

Notes

TO STORE. Store these minty chocolate candies at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. If it is hot where you live and the candies get melty, transfer them to an airtight container or bag and keep them refrigerated.

TO FREEZE. To freeze these candy cups, keep them in the fridge for a day. Then, wrap each candy with cling wrap, transfer to an airtight bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
