Mint chocolate

Mint chocolate (or chocolate mint) is a popular type of chocolate, made by adding a mint flavoring, such as peppermint, spearmint, or crème de menthe, to chocolate.

Mint chocolate can be found in a wide variety of confectionery items, such as candy, mints, cookies, mint chocolate chip ice cream, hot chocolate, and others.

In addition, it is marketed in a non-edible format as cosmetics.

Depending widely on the ingredients and the process used, mint chocolate can give off a very distinctive mint fragrance.

The U.S. National Confectioners Association lists February 19 as "Chocolate Mint Day".
