Life is Short. Eat more chocolate.

YUM!!!

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons half and half
• 16 Junior Mints candies
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan melt the butter and sugars together over low heat until combined.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt until combined.
3. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together and then stir into the wet ingredients, being sure to get all of the lumps out.
4. Gently stir in the half and half. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour, then scoop into 8 portions.
5. Using a finger, make an indentation in the middle of each scoop and place two Junior Mints candies (or more if desired) into the middle.
6. Gently roll into a ball and place on a plate lined with parchment paper.
7. When all of the balls have been rolled, freeze them for 1 hour.
8. In a microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave on low heat (about 2 minutes at 30 percent power) and stir until smooth.
9. When the balls have been frozen, gently roll them around in the melted chocolate with a fork. Place back on the plate and refreeze for about 5-10 minutes until chocolate has hardened.
