Ingredients

• 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Peppermint extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to easily lift the candy out later.

Step 2

In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy and smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, beating on low to combine, then increasing the speed to medium-high until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the butter mixture, mixing continuously until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.

Step 9

Once set, lift the candy out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut the candy into small squares, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.

Step 10

Store the chocolate mint frangos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
