Bavarian Mints


This is one of my favorite chocolate recipes. I love these at Christmas or any time of year.

1 pound milk chocolate (Hershey bars, chocolate chips, or dipping chocolate)
1 square (1 ounce) unsweetened baking chocolate
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Chunk of butter the size of a walnut (about 1 1/2 TBS)
3 to 6 drops peppermint oil
1 to 2 drops of vanilla

In top of double boiler, melt milk chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, milk and butter.
Add oil of peppermint and vanilla. Pour into buttered 9 inch square pan.
Cool. Cut into 1 inch squares. May be dipped in chocolate if desired.

(You can melt the ingredients in the microwave instead of a double boiler.)
