About Andes Mint Chocolate

Andes Crème de Menthe delivers a smooth blend of mint and chocolate flavors and is popular post-meal treat. 

The iconic, rectangular three-layered candy‚ green mint sandwiched between two thin cocoa-based layers‚ became instantly popular after its 1950 launch, and it has remained an American favorite ever since.

The individually foil-wrapped, bite-sized pieces enhance any social gathering or event, yet remain equally popular as self-indulgent treats. 

Of course, there are the Andes Crème de Menthe Baking Chips that I used, so you don’t have to unwrap them each individually. Plus for each one you unwrap, you have to unwrap one to eat for yourself as well.  That’s the way it works around here.   

What Chocolate Coating Should Be Used?

As for the chocolate coating for these graham cracker treats, you can determine if you want to use milk or dark chocolate or maybe even a combination of both. You could even use white chocolate or tint it a light green or use green candy melts for a fun switch up! 

I used Ghirardelli’s semi-sweet chocolate chips for these.  The chocolate color matched the chocolate on the Andes mint candy really well. Add some sprinkles to give them the glee factor!  ‘Tis the season after all!

  1. Holy cow – these would be dangerous to keep in our house! I know I would eat the entire batch…and way too quickly. I saw those Andes baking chips in the grocery store the other day. Cool concept! But I have to say that covering graham crackers with chocolate might be the best idea ever. I’ll have to make a batch with Robbie over the holidays! Pinning!

  2. I like mint AND peppermint. I didn’t even know that Andes sold “chips!” I’m all over that. This treat sounds amazing and it’s so festive for the holiday season. Love it! 🙂 ~Valenltina

  3. I am not sure that I’ve ever tried Andes candies. But they look and sound like those famous British chocolate-covered mint patties, and I do love them a lot! So answering your question, yes I love peppermint for holidays, and these treats are right up my alley! Perfectly festive and easy treat for those times when you don’t want any kitchen fuss.
