This is a recipe from Biltmore Living; it's not mine! Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
2/3 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract |
7 oz dark chocolate |
1/4 cup toasted shredded coconut |
Directions:
1. Put the water and the sugar in a pot and cook until it reaches 280° F on a sugar thermometer.
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
3. Poor the mixture onto baking paper and let set.
4. Once cool break up the peppermint mixture into a small bowl and use the end of a rolling pin to crush it into small pieces.
5. Melt the chocolate. Mix in the mint pieces and the toasted coconut.
6. Lay a 12x10 inch sheet of baking paper on a flat surface and spread the chocolate into a 10x8 rectangle.
7. When firm to the touch cut into 2 1/2 inch wide strips with a sharp knife.
