Mint Chocolate Chip Milk Shake
April 2, 2014
You may not be in the warmest place as of the moment, but in some parts of the globe, it’s summer-like!!
Warm days are the perfect time to indulge in icy treats on the back porch after you’ve called it a day at work. There’s something comforting about sitting around with family enjoying frozen treats. It never fails to wake up the kid in me and makes me remember my glory days running around with nothing to stress about. Ah, childhood memories!
A milkshake made with fresh milk and cream, dark chocolate chips, peppermint extract and chocolate fudge sauce make about as good as a dessert can get in my book. Even diabetics can tweak this recipe a little bit and enjoy this cold treat!
Chocolate Mint Brownie Cookies

Chocolate and mint seem to go together very well. A lot of sweet treats have been surfacing with this flavor combination. I, for one, swear by this pairing. I just find the combination of rich chocolate and the refreshing mint oh so delightful.

Chocolate mint is popular for sweet treats like candy, ice cream, and cake, to name a few. With its continuous popularity, it invaded the liquid world. It is now used in coffee, tea, and even some main dishes. It’s even used in cosmetics! I myself love my chocolate mint bath gel and lip balm.

March 21, 2012
Chocolate and mint never fails to make a good combination, whether it be used in drinks, candies, and so on. This time, we'll be using the choco-mint flavor in the treat we all love. Brownies!
Brownies can either be "cake-style" or "fudge-style." Cake-style is that with the consistency of a cake, only richer and denser. On the other hand, fudge-style, true to its name, is more like fudge than cake.

Mint Chocolate and Chocolate Mint
November 8, 2010
You say tah-may-toe, I say tah-mah-toe. Some say mint chocolate, and some say chocolate mint. Although often used interchangeably, there is a difference, technically speaking.
Mint chocolate is a variety of flavored chocolate, in this case, infused with mint flavoring. It can be used as a coating or as a stand alone chocolate bar. Since mint is added to dark, milk, and white chocolate, mint chocolate does not denote just one type of coating. Mint can be peppermint or spearmint or crème de menthe.
