8 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Mint extract (3 to 4 drops)

Directions
- Heat the dark chocolates and condensed milk in a double boiler over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth

- Stir in the mint extract to your taste
- Remove from the heat, and then cover and refrigerate until completely cool, at least 2 hours
