I made some up with an additional base layer of dark chocolate; friends loved it--so much so that I never got to give any away as gifts. Anyway, a query for you. I made this using peppermint extract, and used a lot to get it to an approved minty-ness level. Next time, I would like to try using peppermint oil, which is much more concentrated. Doing some initial research, prices and sources for the oil seem wildly variable, so the point that I'm a little uncertain about the food-suitability of some of them. Do you have a brand and source that you like? I'm in the Seattle area. Thanks for both the recipe and any tips!

I love making gifts via my kitchen! You have me thinking all about music right now. One of my clear favorites is Carli Bruni. Jen: yes let me know how it turns out!
