Candy Mint Buttons

1 . Stage

Beat cream cheese with one cup of powdered sugar.

2 . Stage

Gradually add powdered sugar so that the mass can be rolled into balls. I used a little more than half of the powdered sugar. Add the food coloring (I mixed blue and green to get a minty hue), the extract (I had essence - I needed less!) and knead well.

3 . Stage

Place balls of sugar mixture on baking paper.

4 . Stage

Make an indentation in each ball. I used a spoon from the bread maker

5 . Stage

Prepare the chocolate filling. Bring the cream to a boil (the fat content is not important) and add the chopped chocolate until it has dissolved. Let it cool. Put it in the refrigerator to thicken a little.

6 . Stage

Fill a pastry bag or bag and squeeze the chocolate mass into the recess of the candy.

7 . Stage

Arrange on plates or trays and send the candy to the refrigerator.
