What about mint shortbread slices. Make up some shortbread in a square pan. Cook it and leave it to cool. Make some icing and flavour with mint. Cover the shortbread. When it is set pour melted chocolate over it and let it set again. Cut into squares. It's like millionaires shortbread with a minty layer instead of the caramel.
