Directions:
Prep Time: 1 hour

- Reserve 12 M&M’S Holiday Mint; set aside.
- In microwavable bowl, melt dark chocolate, stirring every 30 seconds, for 2 to 3 minutes or until chocolate is melted.
- Place 24 (2 1/2-inch) half sphere molds on baking tray. Spoon 1/2 tbsp melted dark chocolate into cavity of each mold; brush to coat cavity evenly. Repeat with remaining molds. Refrigerate baking tray for 15 to 20 minutes or until chocolate is set.
