Remove the leaves off the mint stems. Wash and thoroughly pat dry. If there is any moisture, the chocolate won’t stick.
Using a microwave or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate until smooth and runny.
Dip each leaf, covering both sides of half the mint leaf. This is easiest done by dragging it through the chocolate in one direction, then flipping and dragging back the other way.
Place the chocolate-covered mint on baking paper to set. You can place it in a cooler for a short time to speed up the setting process but this may create spots on the chocolate if condensation is created
