Chocolate mint – the smell of the season.
I am personally a fan of mintifying my chocolate during the holidays. Â Apparently, the folks over at Dr. Lucy’s are, too! Â One of their new flavors for the season is Chocolate Merry Mint.
Like all of Lucy’s cookies, these are light, airy, and completely crispy. Â The chocolate and the mint complement each other nicely, and the mint lingers with you, as it should.
When dipped in milk, the cookies quickly soak it up. Â They are great for dipping, but you need to eat them quickly once they’re wet.
There is just something special about chocolate mint for me. Â It didn’t take long before I had realized that I had eaten half the box. Â :O Â I somehow managed to leave the last four in the open box for a couple of weeks, and they softened up, which I also enjoyed.
Lucy’s also has out a new Holiday Sugars cookie. Â It tastes faintly of oats and has sugar sparkling all around. Â I bet it would be lovely with some icing, but I’m trying to behave myself a little.
What are your favorite Christmas flavor pairings, and do you make anything special with them (like chocolate cherry cookies)?
