Mini No-Bake Chocolate Mint Pies

Most of my favorite foods are deep seated in years of family tradition. From appetizers to desserts, my favorite recipes are those have I have eaten since I was a girl. And holidays are just not the same without those special recipes. I hadn’t yet found my special recipe — the one that will become my contribution to the family tradition, but I think these Mini No-Bake Chocolate Mint Pies could be the winner. 

Last year my husband declared my Pumpkin Spice Truffles to the best thing I ever made. Well, move over Pumpkin Spice Truffles because hands down, these Mini No-Bake Chocolate Mint Pies take the cake (or the pie). Best thing I have ever made, right here. 

It’s chocolate, it’s mint and it’s a no-bake pie. What more could you ask for in a holiday dessert?!

Seriously, these mini pies aren’t just pretty — they are downright divine. And please notice, no-bake pies. You won’t find an easier holiday treat that packs as much wow!

Because they are so easy they are great to make with kids. I am all about traditions, and I love the idea of starting a new family tradition making a holiday dessert that includes Hershey’s chocolate with my daughters.
