Trying new recipes is something I just love. My little family and I were getting prepped to traved to a weekend “reunion” of sorts with a few of my siblings and their families and we were assigned to supply treats for one of the meals.  I happened upon this recipe on Pinterest (I heart Pinterest) and my family loves mint.  They turned out to be way better than I had even thought.  My brother-in-law said they were “The best thing we had eaten the whole reunion.”  I have made them several times since then, and they are always a hit!

And don’t be thrown off by the whole wheat flour – the cocoa powder covers up any mild wheat flour if you’re worried about that.  No one will even know you added the healthier option!
