Ingredients
- A bag of chocolate chips weighing 12 ounces
- 1 ½ cups of confectioners' sugar
- ½ cup of egg substitute
- Softened butter, measuring ¼ cup
- 1 teaspoon of mint extract
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet or plate by lining it with waxed paper for easy cleanup later.
Step 2
Start by melting the chocolate in a double boiler set over simmering water. Stir the chocolate frequently and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides for even melting.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, egg substitute, and butter. Use an electric mixer to blend them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Pour in the melted chocolate and continue mixing until everything is well combined. Add mint extract and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and beat until it becomes light and fluffy.
Step 4
Using a heaping teaspoon, drop dollops of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Place the sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolates to chill until they are firm, which usually takes at least 4 hours. This step is crucial for the chocolates to set properly and have the perfect texture when you enjoy them.
