Ingredients

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Optional: 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds

Instructions

1. Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking pan and set aside.
2. Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate chips until they are melted and smooth.
3. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the mint extract, melted butter and powdered sugar until everything is combined.
4. If desired, stir in the chopped nuts.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the chocolate has set.
6. Cut the meltaways into desired shapes and enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. You can also add a few drops of peppermint extract for a stronger mint flavor. If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Just be sure to stir the mixture every 30 seconds to ensure that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
