My sister recently discovered this recipe for homemade chocolate mint patties on Design*Sponge and we were intrigued for two reasons: the first being that they look SO tasty (and who doesn’t love mint patties?!) and the second being that you get to make the mint filling, roll it out flat, cut shapes, and then dip the shapes into chocolate. Fun!

My sister and Ivy decided to make them (again, thank goodness for my sister!) and it was a relatively easy and fun recipe to follow… and they are the most delicious mint patties I have ever eaten. SO. DARN. GOOD.

I think this recipe and the Smitten Kitchen chocolate brownie recipe are my two favourite recipe discoveries of the past year. I definitely recommend making both.

p.s. Ivy started calling the them ‘mint patios’, so now mint patties are officially called ‘Mint Patios’ in our house. (I nearly wanted to title this post ‘mint patios’, but figured you all might be confused.) : )
