Frango Chocolate Mints

Remember these expensive chocolate mints for sale at exclusive department stores? Well, here's the recipe to make them yourself. Bon appetit. :-)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 and 1/8 cup powdered sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 tsp. peppermint extract

Directions:

Melt chips in a double boiler to melt and while cooling beat butter and sugar together. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Beat in the cooled chocolate and peppermint. The longer you beat the fluffier the mints will be. Drop by half teaspoons on to wax paper or use a pastry bag for fancy mints. Keep refrigerated.
