Preparation

Step 1

Chop the Andes mints and 2 oz of the chocolate bar. Mix with 1 tsp of the gold sprinkles and place on a small plate.


In a bowl, large enough to allow the opening of your martini glass to enter, place the remaining 6 oz of chocolate. Melt in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time, being careful not to scorch. Stir as needed until smooth. While still melted, coat the rim of 2 martini glasses in the melted chocolate, then roll through the chopped chocolate to garnish the rim.


Fill a martini shaker with ice, pour in the drink ingredients, and close the lid. Shake until well chilled and slightly frothy. Strain into prepared martini glasses. Cheers!
