MINT CRISP CHOCOLATE SQUARES TIPS
This chocolate brownie with peppermint crisp chocolate will satisfy your need for the traditional peppermint crisp tart, a dessert that is widely adored in South Africa. Since the squares are baked from a dough-like substance rather than a cake mix, they have a somewhat dense, chewy texture. You may use chocolate frosting, caramel spread, or both as a base for your squares, and then cover them with the peppermint chocolate. As much of the decadent chocolate as you want without feeling guilty, thanks to the mint.
You may indulge in all the sweets you want throughout the holidays without feeling the least bit of remorse. Share this delicious recipe for mint crisp chocolate squares with your friends.
