I found a recipe in one of the Gooseberry Patch books for
Peppermint Chocolate Creams that I just had to try. Am I glad I did! Here is the recipe if you would like to try:
1 7 oz. jar of marshmallow creame
2/3 c. softened butter
1 t vanilla
3/4 t peppermint extract
6 c sifted powdered sugar
8 oz of chocolate candy coating
In a large bowl, beat the marshmallow creame, butter and extracts untill well blended. Gradually add powdered sugar until smooth. Shape into small balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill at least one hour.Melt chocolate. Dip each ball in chocolate and then return to wax paper. Chill until chocolate hardens. Store in and airtight container in a cool place. Makes about 9 dozen.I also drizzled a little white chocolate over the tops for flare. These are very easy to make and very good!
