MINT FILLED CHOCOLATE CONES 
10 lg. marshmallows
1/4 c. milk
2 tbsp. white creme de cocoa
2 tbsp. green creme de menthe
4 squares semi-sweet chocolate
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. whipping cream
Green food coloring

In a 1 quart glass cup or bowl, microwave marshmallows and milk on high, uncovered, stirring once, until melted (2 - 2 1/2 minutes). Stir in creme de cocoa and creme de menthe, refrigerate until partially set. Combine chocolate and butter in 2 cup glass measure, microwave on high, uncovered, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until melted, stirring once. Draw eight 4 inch circles on waxed paper, leaving 2 inches between circles. Cut out circles leaving some broader on each one. Place on baking sheet. Divide chocolate mixture between each circle. Let stand at room temperature. Beat cream until thick. Add cooled marshmallow mixture, beat until thick, add food coloring to desired color. Divide evenly onto each chocolate circle, mounding in center. Bring up edges of circle to form a cone. Refrigerate until set (2 hours). Carefully peel off paper. Refrigerate or freeze until served. If refrigerated, let stand at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes; if frozen, 30 to 45 minutes. Garnish with grated chocolate or crushed peppermint candy, if you wish. To freeze, wrap carefully in aluminum foil and place in a rigid container in freezer so they won't get crushed. Better label them dog food or your husband or kids will eat them up before you can serve them.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
