Chocolate Dipped Cream Cheese Mints

March 13, 2014 By Jen Stott 4 Comments

It’s been a rough winter; long, cold, painfully wet.  Now my tulips are pushing their way through the dirt, the geese are flying north, and I’m ready for something light and refreshing to snack on.  Enter Cream Cheese Mints.

These are one of my favorite treats.  I’ve always loved mints in any form, especially those little butter mints!  Homemade mints taste so much better.

I like making cream cheese mints because they’re pretty fast to whip together and they taste so good homemade.  The trouble with them, though, is that they have to lay out in the open to dry for a good day or two to dry.  Which is murder on my self-control.

Sometimes I make these mints into long ropes and then cut them into small pieces.  This time, I formed individual flat round discs and used a fork to press a pattern into the top of each mint.

Can I tell you what these are great for?

Family get togethers.  Parties.  Bridal showers.  Girls nights.  Wednesdays.

I made them because it was Wednesday.

About a year ago, my life changed.  I went on a girls weekend to Chicago to visit some of my best friends. where there is a girls weekend, you can guarantee there will be a LOT of food.  My friend Melissa brought some goodies, including CHOCOLATE COVERED POTATO CHIPS.  at first I was unsure…but after tasting them, I realized life would never be the same.  Um, wow.  They were so so good.  Who knew?!

It seemed like all of a sudden, everyone knew what I knew.  Chocolate covered potato chips were the perfect treat.  Trader Joe’s started selling them and I saw recipes all over pinterest.  People had caught on to the goodness.  Sweet and salty, what could be better? This week, I found something better.  Loaded sweet potato chips? Yes, please!!!
