Mint Dominoes

This are simply small, flat bricks of peppermint cream dipped in dark chocolate to resemble dominoes. I’m not sure I’d want to bring these out with the coffee after dinner – though you never know – but for a childish culinary conceit, they’re perfect. Besides, as Mr Bendicks knows, the contrast between bitter chocolate and sinus-clearing mint is a good one. Even though these are for children, I still use the darkest, blackest, meanest chocolate I can find.
