About this deal

In true Roman fashion, the conquerors took mint with them wherever they went, resulting in the herb becoming a common ingredient across the world. Pour the chocolate batter into your prepared moulds until each is one third full, then cover and refrigerate until firm – about 30 minutes.

Butter the moulds again and dust liberally with cocoa powder. Place in the fridge while you prepare the fondant mixture. Mint leaves continued to be used for all kinds of things, from adding enjoyable aromas around the home to proving the perfect accompaniment to a plate of lamb chops. Brandy balls were popular in London in the 1850s, as they contained peppermint and cinnamon and advertised as “warming the tongue like brandy does”. Other types of peppermint sweets were also available throughout Europe around this time, which were made by independent traders in their homes. Meanwhile, make the fondant. Put the egg white in a clean bowl and gently stir with a fork to break up. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, then add half to the egg white. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixed.Mint chocolate fondant with a gooey molten centre – Yes please! If you don’t know how to make a chocolate fondant then this is the recipe for you, guaranteed to give you a rich, gooey, decadent dessert with a refreshing minty twist to enjoy at home..” – Ben Johnson, Exec Head Chef. For the white mint chocolate ganache you’ll need:

These sweets are a real classic, always remember these as a child the ones mums/dads/ grans and aunty always seem to carry in their handbags! and what a pleasant sweet treat they were and still are - a very minty iced firm texture crystallised sugar shell with a soft peppermint fondant centre a lot like those famous Clarnico Mint Creams and still as tasty today as they always were.Meanwhile, the superpowers contained within a single mint leaf continued to hold sway. The French would make bouquets of mint and St John’s Wort to scare off evil spirits, whereas the English said that if you found a flowering mint plant on Midsummer’s Day you’d be happy forever. Blimey. Remove from the fridge and place a single ball of white chocolate ganache in the middle of each mould. Distribute the remaining chocolate batter evenly into the four moulds, then cover and return to the fridge for at least one hour.
