Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)

  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips (I am going to use a mix of dark and milk chocolate)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Mix cream cheese and butter and extract together until well combined. Add in confectioner's sugar until the mixture forms a soft dough ball. It shouldn't be sticky, and should roll easily into balls.

  • Step 2: Roll the dough into small balls and place on a baking sheet that has been lined with wax paper. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass.

  • Step 3: Refrigerate patties for 2 hours until chilled and firm.

  • Step 4: Melt chocolate and shortening together.

  • Step 5: Coat the cold patties into the chocolate, and place on the wax paper. Place back in the fridge to harden further.

  • Step 6: Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
