Preparation

Step 1

Beat the cream cheese, butter, and extract until creamy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar.
Add a few drops of green coloring until it is the color you like. Stir in 1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips. Refrigerate the mixture until it is firm enough to roll into balls.
Roll into 16 balls and roll each ball in the remaining chocolate chips. Serve with chocolate graham crackers. Makes 16 individual cheese balls. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Notes

*Add the mint extract a little at a time until it is the taste you prefer. If you like it stronger, add more than the amount in the recipe.
