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!
Mint Madeleines

- 2 eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon salt

- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 drops+3 drops Creme de Menthe Oil
- dark chocolate melts and sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Butter and flour Madeleine pan and preheat oven to 275 degrees
- Place eggs, salt and sugar into mixer bowl and whip on high for 5 minutes until silky smooth.
- Add vanilla and mint, then mix in flour alternating with butter in 3 stages and blend until incorporated. Place 2 tablespoon into each area of pan and bake for 7-8 minutes.
- Allow Madeleines to cool in pan for a couple minutes then turn out onto cooling rack.
- When they are completely cooled. Melt chocolate in microwave at 30 second intervals until smooth and completely melted. Add three drops of Creme de Menthe Oil to chocolate.

These can be decked out easily for St. Patrick’s Day with shamrock or green sprinkles.

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.
