I live in Australia and the cost of buying the Andes product from the US is prohibitive. What sort of product should I look for as a substitute for the Andes pieces. Should it be crunchy, soft, easy to melt? I can’t find any info describing the Andes product in detail to be able to work out a substitute…
Stephanie Brubaker says
Oh what a shame! Andes are small chocolate bars with layers dark chocolate and mint. You could just use chocolate chips and add a touch more mint extract. They will still be delicious!
