Ingredients:
8 oz. (225g) cooking chocolate, plain or milk
1 tsp. peppermint essence
1 egg white
8 oz. (225g) icing sugar
red and green food colouring
Cooking Instructions:
Gradually fold in the egg white into 6 oz. of the icing sugar until stiff
Add the rest of the icing sugar and the peppermint essence then knead to form a stiff paste
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
transfer to a sheet of greaseproof paper and leave overnight
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
Does anyone know how to make mint creams?
"Ready to roll" icing and a few drops of pepermint oil/essence/flavouring. Just mix together. Add a hint of green food colouring if desired.

Instructions
Pour clear creme de menthe in bottom of glass. Slowly add Irish cream liqueur down inside of glass to form a second layer. Add whipped cream so it mounds above glass rim.
