  • I bet this is excellent, but too expensive for me to make. I can not afford to buy Creme de Menthe. Wish you would give us this only with just mint candies dissolved in water and then cooled or some such. I think I might try melting some mint candies in the water and cooling both and I only have 100% pure cocoa powder, but I see I could make the baking chocolate by using 3 level T of powder and 1 T of oil... but scared to try it.... souffles can be touchy.
