How much mint extract should I use for these medallions?

Start with a few drops of mint extract when stirring it into the melted chocolate, then taste and adjust to your preference for a stronger or milder mint flavor.

How long do the mint chocolate medallions need to harden?

The medallions will harden in about 10 minutes if placed in the fridge, or you can let them solidify a little longer at room temperature.

What's the best way to get an even circle shape for the medallions?

After dropping spoonfuls of melted chocolate onto a baking sheet, use the back of the teaspoon to gently spread the chocolate into an even circle shape.

Can I use different nuts or dried fruits for the toppings?

Yes, feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite nuts or dried fruits; the recipe uses pistachios, hazelnuts, and dried apricots, but other combinations would also work well.

How should I store these Mint Chocolate Medallions?

Once hardened, store the Mint Chocolate Medallions in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
