Whilst doing this I discovered a little bottle of peppermint extract lurking in the back, and decided that I would use it to make some little chocolate cupcakes with a secret mint fondant filling – like a cupcake version of an after eight, After Eight Cupcakes
This time it's turn for another timeless chocolate bar to be the star of the show - the mintAero. With pastel green shells and a chocolate mint buttercream filling, meet the mintAero macaron
