Peppermint Chocolate roll
This recipe is my daughter’s most requested item for the Christmas goodie bag. I only make Peppermint Chocolate roll at Christmas time.
Its a great easy recipe that can be stored in the freezer for weeks. That makes it one of my favourites too!!
I used Crown mints for my Peppermint Chocolate roll but any hard mint can be used.
Christmas should be enjoyable so any recipes you can start making in November are definitely winners to reduce stress levels. You can also make this recipe as balls rather than slices. You simply roll 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball and roll in coconut. The other thing I love about this recipe is that it makes three logs which is always enough for all my Christmas needs. A lot of the times I have to double recipes to get enough but this one I don’t.
