Bavarian Mints are a classic dessert that have been enjoyed for generations. These small squares of chocolate and peppermint are the perfect treat for the holiday season or any time of year. They are easy to make with just a few ingredients and can be enjoyed by the whole family. Some people prefer to use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate, which can give the mints a lighter texture and sweeter flavor.

Instructions

1.	Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2.	Melt the milk chocolate chips, unsweetened chocolate and butter in a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
3.	Add the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.
4.	Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.
5.	Place the pan in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
6.	Once set, remove the pan from the refrigerator and lift the parchment paper to remove the chocolate from the pan.
7.	Cut the chocolate into small squares.
