Would like to know how these turned out doing them with MINT! Sounds delicious, and I have a mint crazy family!

I haven't tried them with mint. I don't think peanut butter would jive with it too well.... but I am now considering trying Andes with almond butter after your suggestion...

Do you have a recipe for plain chocolate meltaways? My husband doesn't like peanut butter.
