Mint Crisp Cups

Mint Crisps

Who else was fond of a mint crisp bar growing up? It was in my top 5 selection and it only struck me when I was in the shop the other day looking at one (drooling over on) why haven’t I made some recreation of a classic mint crisp combo? Well hello mint crisp cups! As you can see from the YouTube video these are dead easy and don’t take much patience. Few random ingredients to pick up like mint essence, which you can get in most health stores and any large supermarkets in the baking section. When it comes to the brown rice crisps, I got mine in a health store they were in a cereal box just like rice crispy’s , I have seen these in larger supermarkets also which have health food sections.
