It's National Chocolate Mint Day!

The only thing more refreshing than a leisurely Sunday Drive on a crisp cool morning with the windows open is digging into a dessert with smooth, luxurious chocolate blended with luscious, frosty mint!  It’s the perfect mid-Winter treat on the edge of seasonal holidays and emerging spring greenery.  Today, on National Chocolate Mint Day, we’re sharing some of our favourite places to grab this rich, chocolatey dessert combo in the local NY Metro Area.

 

 

From Gelato to Milkshakes to Cupcakes and Cookies, you’ll find the best places to snag this iconic sweet treat right in our own backyards.  If you’re the DIY kind of soul, we’re also including some of our favourite chocolate mint inspired recipes at the end of this post.  They’re perfect for bringing to family gatherings, office parties, or dropping off a plate at your friendly neighbourhood car dealership (Hint hint? Just kidding, unless you want to!)
