This was so good. It was also very easy to prepare. Tasts better than the store bought variety.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/19\/2012 16:41","GUID":"7265c98ce42543c89498b81f32c6a753","MemberId":5723051,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Troyellen","SubmittedDate":"12\/19\/2012 16:40"},{"Comment":"

This is so yummy and so easy to make. I used two teaspoons of peppermint extract and it was plenty for my taste.

I loved this! I received a lot of praise and passed the recipe on to several people, too. I did make more chocolate for the top layer - making an additional half recipe (I think I used too much for the bottom). This will become a yearly tradition in my home!<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"01\/04\/2011 10:01","GUID":"a796971805fc4cdabe592f8a8a77a7a2","MemberId":2506273,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bethad","SubmittedDate":"01\/04\/2011 10:01"},{"Comment":"
Very easy tastes great! I put made for Christmas and place holly sprinkles on top. I went with the 3 teaspoons of mint extract.

Made this recipe a few years ago, it was good but not great. Pretty easy to make, if you're looking to make a lot you'll probably want to double your ingredients.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"12\/09\/2010 15:17","GUID":"c7c800817ae04d3a9dfc59de6f63ee2c","MemberId":5415442,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"SJJacob84","SubmittedDate":"12\/09\/2010 15:17"},{"Comment":"
These were really easy to make and they turned out wonderfully. Definitely satisfied my mint craving!<\/p>
I used milk chocolate, instead of semisweet, chips; white bark for the candy coating; didn't use food coloring; and I opted for 3 tsp of peppermint extract<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"05\/30\/2010 08:57","GUID":"b129056b835a493e818ca5441987a721","MemberId":5186002,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"paula113","SubmittedDate":"05\/30\/2010 08:57"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"02\/01\/2010 13:07","GUID":"e6129d6acf8345c8b12d5582816eaecc","MemberId":4390151,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"krystaljoy","SubmittedDate":"02\/01\/2010 13:07"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"12\/21\/2006 12:08","GUID":"96a69dc7bb3444b3974d470eb5f28a77","MemberId":1008546,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"krystalp","SubmittedDate":"12\/21\/2006 12:08"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
