Oh how I love chocolate and mint together,
one of my favorite things is chocolate chip mint milkshakes.
This time of year, it is really hard to resist all the thin mints.
But the milkshake remains my favorite, until now.
I just love how Madeleines have a cake-like texture, and add mint and chocolate to them and it’s a WINNER!

I love chocolate and mint too but my Hubs hates it. That means I get all the Thin Mints! (I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing)

Mine are taking a lot longer than 7 minutes. Is the oven temp correct at 275?
Diane says
That is the temperature I used, we don’t have a lot of humidity here, they may take longer if it’s more humid, if you increase the temperature they will likely brown. I would just adjust the time.
