01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar ½ cup egg substitute ¼ cup butter, softened 1 teaspoon mint extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by lining a baking sheet or plate with wax paper to keep things from sticking. Next, melt the chocolate gently by placing it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring often and scraping down the sides so it melts evenly. In a separate bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, egg substitute, and butter together with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, pour in the melted chocolate and mix it all until well combined. Add the mint and vanilla extracts, and keep beating until the mixture feels light and fluffy. Spoon heaping teaspoons of the chocolate mixture onto your prepared sheet. Pop them in the fridge and let them chill for at least four hours, or until they’re firm and ready to enjoy.
