Chocolate mint, or mint chocolate, refers to a wide range of different chocolate confections, from candies to drinks.
There are a variety of different mint flavours that are used in chocolate mints, such as spearmint, peppermint and crème de menthe. For the candies, these can be hard or soft. They may have a hard interior made from mint, such as with the Peppermint Pattie, or a soft one, such as in the After Eight. The mint may be, as in these two examples, a soft or hard centre or, alternatively, it can also be used to infuse the chocolate itself, or embedded in pieces throughout it.
Dark (or bittersweet) chocolate is the type of chocolate most commonly used for chocolate mints, but both milk and white chocolate are used too. With a wide range of flavours, chocolate types and manufacturing methods, there are truly many different possible flavour variations on chocolate mints themselves, without even considering such things as drinks and cookies.
