Between the smell, taste, and richness of flavors, there is no reason not to love chocolate mint! This delectable type of chocolate is created by adding mint flavoring (like peppermint, spearmint, or creme de menthe) to chocolate. The chocolate can be milk, dark, or white chocolate, so each variation of chocolate mint is unique.

Chocolate mint flavored food became immensely popular following its creation in the early 20th century. Today, the divine scent of chocolate mint has even entered the beauty product market with products like shower gel, chapstick, and soap.

Did you know that chocolate mint is also a type of herb? All of the leaves are edible and it even tastes like chocolate mint! To celebrate Chocolate Mint Day, snack on a piece of your favorite chocolate mint bar, scoop some mint chocolate chip ice cream into a dish, or stick a candy cane in a delicious cup of hot cocoa to enjoy!
