Chocolate mint leaves make a wonderfully sophisticated, grownup dessert. They are incredibly fresh-tasting and oh, so pretty!

Instructions
- Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in the microwave in two or three 30-second sessions, stirring after each session.
- Mix in the avocado oil and stevia.
- Using a pastry brush, paint the top side of the mint leaves with the melted chocolate.
- Place the coated mint leaves on wax paper and allow them to set at room temperature for about an hour.
Notes
- The sweetener is optional. I use it because I tend to use extra-dark chocolate. But if you don't mind the slight bitterness of extra-dark chocolate, or if you're using sweeter chocolate, you can leave the sweetener out.
- If you do add a sweetener but prefer to use something other than stevia, I recommend opting for a liquid sweetener, as a granulated sweetener could cause the chocolate to feel grainy.
- You can replace the avocado oil with coconut oil, melted butter, or melted ghee.
- You can store the leftovers, but not for long. This is the only drawback to this recipe. You need to make this dessert on the day you plan on eating it. Fresh mint leaves don't keep for more than a day, two at the most. So, if you do have leftovers, place them in the fridge in an airtight container, but plan on finishing them up quickly.
