Ingredients

The first step is to melt the chocolate chips and butter together. Place the chips and butter in a medium sized bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir the mixture until it is smooth. Then add the peppermint extract and stir to combine.
Next, add the powdered sugar and mix until it is completely incorporated. If you would like to add food coloring, now is the time to do so. You can add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir until the desired color is achieved.
Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, using a spoon, drop small mounds of the chocolate mixture onto the parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the mints are firm.
Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and let the mints cool for 5 minutes. Then, using a spoon, scoop the mints off of the parchment paper and place them in an airtight container. Store the container in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
Notes
