Love Mint Chocolate? You might also like this Mint Chocolate Lasagna and this No Bake Peppermint Bark Cheesecake! I want to see hands from all my mint chocolate lovers! Where are you? The husband and I love the mint chocolate combo. We disagree on our share of things, but generally dessert is not one of those things. Unless it’s pumpkin — then he’s all in and I’m on the edge somewhere. But mint and chocolate? There’s never been any question. These Mint Bars are the perfect combination of a chocolatey, chewy crust, creamy mint filling and rich chocolate ganache. The cool mint and decadent chocolate balance each other out perfectly! If you love the chocolate mint combo as much as we do, you’ll also enjoy these Mint Cream Cheese Brownies and these Mint Chocolate No Bake Cookies!
Tips for making these Mint Chocolate Bars:
Line your pan: I always line my pan with foil (don’t worry, it’s not going to be baked) so that once the bars are chilled I can easily remove them and slice. It’s one quick step that makes a big difference! Yes, you really need the egg (it’s a similar crust to these Nanaimo Bars, which also requires eggs). I promise it’ll be okay — it’s not raw, the egg cooks in the hot cocoa mixture and it binds everything so well that it can’t be left out. Yes, you really need to chill it: unless you don’t care about being able to cut nice slices!
Variations on these No Bake Bars:
You can make these bars with almost any flavor — choose your favorite extract or even use just vanilla! You can use any color of food coloring, or none at all, if you want to color them for a special occasion Stir in some finely chopped candy canes or sprinkle on top of the chocolate before it sets for a Christmas-y treat
The filling is a perfectly cool and creamy mint buttercream frosting, and the chocolate ganache, well, it’s more chocolate and I think that’s saying enough.
