Mint Chocolate Walnut Chewy Bars



For the chocolate lover in you! If you have chocolate cravings and love the cool taste of mint in a chewy chocolate bar then this is the treat for you! 

Mint Chocolate Walnut Chewy Bars are made with some of our favorite chocolate candies that include the Andre Creme de Menthe chocolates, toffee, walnuts, raisins, coconut,  and more! These bars are so chewy, chocolaty and sweet with a nutty crunch and minty flavor. They are so yummy! 

The holidays are here and that means I have to get baking! Making Christmas cookies and treats for the neighbors is on our list of things to get done.  These chocolate bars are easy to make and easy to freeze.  I made a batch the other day and they disappeared in a few hours.

These chewy bars have a crunchy texture from the walnuts with a refreshing cool taste of peppermint ! They are Mmm Mmm good!
