These fudgy, creamy After-Eight Balls are a must for every chocolate lover! And you just need 3 ingredients: heavy cream, dark chocolate and mint leaves for the extra flavor. So it's a must to use unsprayed, organic mint. The little balls are also perfect as a gift and you can easily store them for 1 week in your fridge.
Before we get started an important tip for all the people who are going to be using cups to measure the ingredients. Please take 1/4 cup of heavy cream and remove 1 tablespoon before you use it, so you have the most perfect result ever! This is just because 50g heavy cream isn't exactly 1/4 cup and to prevent any troubles I would recommend doing that.
Have fun :)
