One way to keep your mint in bounds is to plant the mint in a big pot, then bury the pot. We have a variety of mints - chocolate, orange, spearmint, peppermint. Of the bunch, the orange is doing the best. Last year the chocolate got huge, but it died back when we moved it. The spearmint needs a saucer of beer - the snails appear to love it.
The chocolate is very nice in desserts, makes a nice garnish for chocolate-mint things.
