7 Mint and Chocolate Concoctions That Are Crazy Awesome

There are some classic combinations that have been widely accepted and relished, like PB and J, coffee and donuts, bacon and eggs etc. But there are some food combinations that we’ve detested and really blamed our curiosities for. So after testing the waters, we’ve come to a conclusion that mint and chocolate is a classic. The minty flavour is infused in plain chocolate by adding either peppermint, spearmint, or crème de menthe. Whether you like it in your paste or your Ayurvedic capsules, we’ve rounded up 7 of the best mint and chocolate dessert recipes (also known as grasshopper desserts) that celebrate this divine union!

Tip: Most recipes mentioned below use mint extract which may be overpowering if you don’t use the right amount to flavour your dessert.
