Question Chocolate mint

I found a wonderful recipe for Chocolate Mint Banana Bread, but I was wondering has anyone else heard of this or where I could get a plant, any ideas would be welcome.

I was fascinated by the name Runnerbean, so I just had to find Chocolate Mint. It's about a third of the way down the page on this link above Grapefruit Mint!

I have grown chocolate mint, and it really does smell like chocolate mint, it's incredible. It would be a good choice for a sensory garden. It has died off now, though, so I think it may not be as hardy as some of the other mints. Might be worth growing it in a container so that you can shelter it from too much rain in winter.
