Thank you everyone. I simplified the extension and now have it working
properly using a formatter.

extension NSDate
{
    convenience
    init(dateString:String) {
        let dateStringFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
        dateStringFormatter.calendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier:
NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)
        dateStringFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
        dateStringFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier:
"en_US_POSIX")
        dateStringFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
        let d = dateStringFormatter.dateFromString(dateString)!
        self.init(timeInterval:0, sinceDate:d)
    }
}

...

let val = 10 //Test
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
calendar.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
calendar.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX")
let startDate = NSDate(dateString:"11:30")
let date = calendar.dateByAddingUnit(.Minute, value: val, toDate:
startDate, options: [])

let formatter = NSDateFormatter()
formatter.dateStyle = .NoStyle
formatter.timeStyle = .ShortStyle

let dateString = formatter.stringFromDate(date!)
print(dateString) //*Correct*
