Copycat Fantastic Chocolate Mint Frangos
"Mmmmm! These Frangos will melt in your mouth! They are so easy to make and also make great gifts. After cutting the Frangos into small pieces, I individually wrap each piece in pretty cellophane paper, and then place all pieces in either a cool coffee mug, a pretty box, or a lovely bag. I then take a colorful recipe card and write out the recipe to include with the gift because people always ask me for it once they have tasted these! Please note that the prep time does not include chill time."

Wow these are so yummy! Very minty, too. Taste just like the real Frangos I remember! I used a piping bag and piped the chocolate into little candy cups. I froze them to save until Christmas - if they make it that long:) Somehow I yielded 125 pcs. Next time I make them I'll pipe more into each cup. On a side note I made these again this evening and was in a hurry and didn't let the chocolate cool - big mistake the butter separated when they cooled. -
My 12 year old halved this recipe. Bad move, she and her 16 year old brother were wrestling over the last piece today. It was lovely. She did use PC extra dark chocolate instead of chocolate chips. We will definitely be making this again. -
Super fast and easy, not expensive to make, would be pretty gifts in a nice box. I halved the recipe and still got plenty. I also piped them into small candy cups and put some sprinkles on top. Very quick and nice effect.

Really good recipe and easy to make. I used a 9x13 pan lined with parchment and it was easy to unmold for cutting. I drizzled the top of mine, after cutting, with white and green colored chocolate. they were very pretty. Haven't found anyone that didn't think they were the best ever.

2007 I thought that I would edit my home page...its been over two years, so I its time to update! I have lived in beautiful New Mexico for the last few years (Albuquerque), after 20 years of living on the West Coast (San Francisco and Seattle). I love many things about New Mexico - the perfect weather, in particular; the sunsets; the open land; and the great Southwest food - but also sometimes miss the energy of bigger cities. I am a mental health therapist, who loves my work! I love to cook (a passion that I discovered after getting married). Rather than cooking a few favorites on a regular basis, I prefer to collect recipes (primarily from the Internet), and try new things often (in fact, my husband jokes that he will try a new dish that he loves and then never see it again :-)). I also love to read, write, travel, work on personal growth, and study/learn. I am a total water baby, who lives in the desert, so I love traveling to tropical locations, where I especially love to snorkle and boggie board! I am very happily married to my best friend, soulmate, partner, and greatest cheerleader and supporter, and we have three grown children, and four grandchildren (so far :-))I am a total foodie (I "live to eat" instead of "eat to live.") :-) I love everything about food...cooking; the delicious scents of a yummy dish, as it cooks; the beautiful presentation of wonderful food; dining out; dining in; the taste of great food; sitting around the table, with friends and family, eating, talking and laughing; nurturing those I love by cooking for them...all of the senusal pleasures that food brings! My favorite Internet site for yummy recipes is this one - and I almost always choose recipes with five-star ratings, so please keep on reviewing! :-)
