Peppermint Patties

I love chocolate covered peppermint in almost any form so I decided to try and make some of my own peppermint patties. I found a few recipes on allrecipe.com, and after much searching, reading of reviews and tweaking, this is what I came up with.

INGREDIENTS
4 ounces low fat cream cheese
1 tbsp butter
3 cups icing sugar
2 tsp peppermint extract

METHOD:
1. Cream together the cream cheese, butter and icing sugar. Add the peppermint extract (Note you can test it at this stage for consistany you want as it may need a little more confectioner's sugar, or peppermint extract. If using peppermint oil, add a drop at a time and test for taste.).
2. Roll into medium sized balls and place on waxed paper. Flatten with a fork and let dry for a few hours.
3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler and dip dry patties in melted chocolate. Let harden on wax paper
4. Enjoy!


REVIEWS:
We all loved these, and the batch was gone by the end of the next day. They were delicious and completely addictive. These will be made many more times.
