I make these often for holidays. They can also be frozen. Very easy to prepare and they are delectable!

These are delicious! I also had to double the chocolate, but had no problems with them falling apart. I used a fork to dip them.

I make these every year at Christmas, sometimes I use cookie cutters to make differnet shapes. Have to agree with the other comments reagrding coating process, I usually freeze before coating but havent really perfected a surefire way yet. Still, these are really yummy and easy to make!

These are good, but I always need more chocolate chips and shortening to coat all the wafers. I also reheat the chocolate if it cools down too much.

It's almost impossible to "dip" these, Instead I roll them, flatten them onto wax paper, then I put the cookie sheet in the freezer. Then I take an offset spatula and spread the choc. onto the top side, then I remove from freezer, flip them over and do the same. Yes it's work but imo these cannot be "dipped" no matter what you do, they just tend to fall apart.diane

I make this every year...I triple the peppermint extract it calls for. I also split the batch and do half with green food color and half with red.

If you like Peppermint patties, you will love this easy recipe.Please note, I mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixer, which makes the filling perfect. Also, I double the chocolate for dipping with a little left over for pretzels~

The taste is heavenly! Coating them is the hardest part of making them. After 4 years and trying different methods I've found that using two large 3 prong meat forks works best.

These were soooo goood! They are very simple, but as the other reviewer stated, once you try and dip them in the chocolate, they start to melt...I put them in the freezer for about an hour and then dipped them really fast!

Tasted good and was easy until it cam etime to coat them. Although they had been chilled they still melted once they touched to chocolate. May have to try freezing them.

These were good. My kids loved them, which surprised me a little. Mine seemed a little dry, not creamy like the title says. Not sure what I did different. Will make again, though.
