These were very easy to make. But the recipe doesn't specify when to add the melted chocolate, so I just guessed (which I added it with the peppermint extract). That seemed to work well. Frango Mints are indeed a Pacific NW favorite, so it is nice to have a tasty treat that is just as minty and chocolately but at a fraction of the cost. Mine came our very sticky though, so I would like to know what could be done to keep that to a minimum.
