This was so good. It was also very easy to prepare. Tasts better than the store bought variety.

Being the chocolate mint lover that I am, I have tried many recipes for this candy and this one is the very best. This one is a definite keeper. Thanks for sharing!

This is so yummy and so easy to make. I used two teaspoons of peppermint extract and it was plenty for my taste. It looks so pretty on the tray.

I loved this! I received a lot of praise and passed the recipe on to several people, too. I did make more chocolate for the top layer - making an additional half recipe (I think I used too much for the bottom). This will become a yearly tradition in my home!

Very easy tastes great! I put made for Christmas and place holly sprinkles on top. I went with the 3 teaspoons of mint extract. Everyone loved it!

Made this recipe a few years ago, it was good but not great. Pretty easy to make, if you're looking to make a lot you'll probably want to double your ingredients.

These were really easy to make and they turned out wonderfully. Definitely satisfied my mint craving!

I used milk chocolate, instead of semisweet, chips; white bark for the candy coating; didn't use food coloring; and I opted for 3 tsp of peppermint extract
