These candies are ready to eat straight from the package. For baking, they can be incorporated into cookie dough before baking, where they will soften and melt slightly, creating pockets of chocolate and mint. They can also be crushed and sprinkled over frosting or used as a decorative element on cakes, brownies, and other baked goods. Their small size makes them easy to distribute evenly in batters or to use as a garnish.
