Homemade Junior Mints

Step 1

Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Beat in the mint extract. Add in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until the mixture is stiff. It may look crumbly, but you should be able to push it together with your hands.

Step 2

Roll mixture into small balls and flatten slightly.

Step 3

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or at 50% in the microwave. Once melted and smooth, dip each mint center in the chocolate. Once covered, place on a piece of waxed paper. Once all the centers have been dipped, refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened.

Step 4

Store in the refrigerator.
