Description
Treat yourself with these tasty Chocolate Mint Cream Cheese Buttons. Perfect for parties or a sweet snack, they are sure to delight your taste buds!
Ingredients
Scale
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add in peppermint extract and mix until well blended.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to mold into buttons.
Scoop out small portions of the filling and roll them into balls (about 1 inch in size). Place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Pop the baking sheet into the freezer and let the filling balls chill for about 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth.
Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Lift and shake off any excess chocolate before placing it back on the parchment paper.
Place the chocolate-covered buttons back in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes to set.
Once set, place these little delights on a serving platter or in a festive tin.
