I'm so excited about your food blog! Sounds like we started for the same reasons too.
One day my dh, exasperated after I asked him what he felt like having for dinner, went around with a notepad asking the kids to list all of their favorite meals. (It seems like when I'd ask him, he'd say something that was a ton of work to prepare, needed a long marinade time, or a salad meal in the middle of winter.) He began looking at the list to get ideas after that. Hopefully, he'll be able to go to the blog someday and have all of our favorites.
Yummy, I love mint and chocolate, so does my dad. I think that I'm gonna give these a try. Is it easy to cut the recipe in half, do you think? Thanks for posting this it sounds wonderful!
tjandjmkahrs, some of the measurements might be a bit harder to halve, but you could do it. You might want to just make the full batch though because they disappear fast! :)
