Instructions

Chocolate Chunks

Place candy mold on a small baking sheet or tray to keep it level so chocolate does not spill.
To a small pot, add all ingredients.
* See note.
Heat on low, stirring constantly, until everything is melted and combined. Turn off stove and remove pot from heat.
Pour chocolate into the candy mold and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Mint Ice Cream

While chocolate is freezing, mix up your ice cream. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl or emersion blender cup. Mix or blend on high until cream becomes fluffy and is no longer liquid.
* See note for using food coloring.
Transfer ice cream to a round container with a lid.
Remove your chocolate from the freezer and use a large, sharp knife to chop it into small chunks.
Gently mix the chocolate chunks into your ice cream.
With the lid on the container, freeze the ice cream.
For a softer ice cream, freeze for two hours before serving. For a hard ice cream, freeze for four hours before serving.

Notes

To preserve more of the nutrients from the raw honey, you can wait to add it to the chocolate and butter until after they have melted and cooled for a minute or two.
If you want to color your ice cream (green to look like mint or red to look like candy cane), you can either add the food coloring before whipping the cream, or you can gently mix it into the cream after it's been whipped.
If your ice cream is too hard to scoop when you take it out of the freezer, let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes to soften a bit before scooping.
