Ingredients

• 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
• dash salt
• green food color
• 4 to 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Directions

• Mix together cream cheese, milk, and extract. Add a small amount of food coloring, until the mixture reaches the desired color.
• Add powdered sugar, a bit at a time, until mixture becomes heavy, slightly crumbly, but still moist.
• Form dough into small flattened discs, and use a fork to press a pattern into the top.
• Lay mints out on a sheet pan or countertop to dry. Let dry for 24-36 hours, turning periodically.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a small dish in the microwave, in 30 second intervals, stirring between each. Dip each mint halfway into the chocolate. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Place in the fridge and chill for at least 10 minutes.
• {You may want to store them in the fridge to keep the chocolate from melting. If not dipped, this is unnecessary.}
