Avocado really make a great pair. Really! I know it sounds weird and maybe even a little gross for some, but I’m telling you Chocolate and Avocado go together.
I’ll admit these Mint Meltaways are a little different. Outside the box. I like to think of it as creative. Be nice, ok? 🙂
I’ve been dreaming of mint meltways for a very long time now. Chocolate and mint are my ultimate duo for desserts. Second, would be chocolate and peanut butter but that has been banned for life for the safety of the kids. But I still miss some foods. Not to mention the nutrition associated with many of them. Know what I mean? Are there any foods you miss or wish you could eat but can’t due to food allergies?
I’m still not sure how to make a proper unhealthy and unnatural meltaway without corn syrup, hydrogenated oils and eggs. But I hope you like this healthy attempt.
Disclaimer: You will taste the avocado in these. I won’t lie. So if you’re not a fan of avocado you might want to skip this one. But you could always try my trifle and truffle recipes where you really can’t taste the avocado in those.

Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1-2 large ripe bananas
- 1 bag Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
- 1/4-1/2 tsp mint extract
- Puree avocados and banana. Pour into an 8×8 pan and place in freezer until solid.
- Remove from pan and cut into desired shapes and sizes. Place back into freezer.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips.

- Enjoy now or freeze for later.
Hello, I’m Laura! Thanks for stopping by… I hope this blog will help you or someone you know and love. 
Interesting recipe – I'm trying it right at this very moment but I was wondering when and where do you put the mint extract? In with the melted chocolate? Thanks, Shelley
Hi Shelley,
I added it to the chocolate after it was melted and started to cool off. I would highly suggest pouring the chocolate over instead of dipping too. Have fun making these!
What a great recipe! And beautiful photos! Thanks for linking up with SNF 🙂
Thank you Chelsea! Very nice to meet the new hostess!
These sound like they would be pretty amazing. I love avocado and I am always looking for new things to do with it. I also make homemade candy, so I have a ton of molds. I have some for peanut butter cups and chocolate covered cherries that might be good with this since I have the small brushes to paint the chocolate into the mold. I might have to give that a try. Could be fun! Chrystal @ YUMeating.com (non blogger blog)
Hi Chrystal,
Thanks for stopping by… I've always wanted to make candy or even own a shop. I just found some mini candy moods that would have been perfect for these. I think a candy mold and brush would have been waaay easier and much more fun! 🙂
