These mints are a bit too minty for my taste. I think I'll try using half the amount of mint extract next time.

I had a hard time finding cream cheese that was soft enough to use in this recipe. I ended up having to microwave it for a few seconds.

These mints are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese, but I really enjoyed these mints. The chocolate coating really balances out the flavor of the cream cheese.

These mints are so smooth and creamy, they literally melt in your mouth! I love the hint of tanginess from the cream cheese, and the chocolate coating is the perfect finishing touch.
