In addition chocolate mint is marketed in a non-edible form as a beauty product.
Depending widely on the ingredients and the process used, mint chocolate can give off a very distinctive mint fragrance. The chocolate component can be milk chocolate, regular dark chocolate, or white chocolate; due to this, mint chocolate has no one specific flavor and so, each chocolate-plus-flavor combination can be unique.
Enjoy a chocolate mint in some form today!
