Divide the paste into three pieces, adding red colouring to one, green colouring to a second and leaving the third piece plain



Lightly dust a work surface with icing sugar then roll out each piece of paste to a thickness of about a quarter of an inch (5mm)



Cut into one and a half inch (3.5cm) rounds with a round or fluted biscuit cutter

Gently melt the cooking chocolate in a bowl over hot water



Carefully dip half of each mint cream in the chocolate then lay on a wire rack to set
