Ingredients:

1/4 pound Mercken's green chocolate discs (see Note)
1/2 pound Mercken's white chocolate discs
Mint flavoring oil

Knock against counter to remove air bubbles. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Melt white chocolate disks in the microwave. Add a few drops of the mint flavoring oil. Stir. Add more to taste if necessary. Remove molds from refrigerator. Spoon white chocolate into molds. Knock against counter to remove air bubbles. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Before unmolding, put the molds in freezer for 1 minute. Remove from molds.

Keep water away from your chocolate, and make sure bowl and utensils are completely dry.
