"Chocolate and Mint are classically compitable flavors in these wonderfully, delicious mini cheesecakes. You could probaly make these in a mini muffin time is you wanted. Just use mini cupcake foil papers. The swirled choc/mint "kisses"/chips are from Nestles, as is the baking cocoa. Cooling Time - 1 hr chilling"
