Peppermint Essential Oil Chocolates | Thermomix & Conventional Methods
May 03, 2019
I love to make these delectable morsels for my classes and for a sweet little treat to have with espresso or in the evening when the kiddos are in bed and hubby and I are watching our latest addiction on Netflix.
My favourite moulds are my heart shapes ones but if I'm making them for the cherubs I use their transformer, Lego or superhero moulds. Or fun festive ones like Christmas and Easter that I found at my local vinnies.
If you need moulds try eBay, Kmart, Target or Coles.
They also make a beautiful little gift for loved ones.
