We use the chocolate mint for mojitos and use the leaves in the drink. The plant is really healthy, but their are little gnats or something all over it. We don't really enjoy bugs in our drinks.
How do you keep bugs off of a chocolate mint plant?
A few of the tricks that organic gardeners use to repel bugs might apply in this case. Rose growers will often plant either chives or garlic around the rose bush. Bugs, especially aphids, hate the smell of either. Get a couple of pots and plant some garlic and chives, and place them close to your chocolate mint plant. It might work. In any case, you've got some fresh seasoning. And you don't have to drink insecticides in your mojitos.
