Ingredients (makes around 20 creams):

115g sweetened condensed milk
230g icing sugar/ confectioners sugar
A couple of drops of peppermint essence
50g milk chocolate (for drizzling)



Mix the condensed milk and icing sugar until stiff. Add the peppermint essence and mix until well combined. Using your hands, knead the mixture gently to ensure that the peppermint flavour is the whole way through then cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter or break bits off and roll between your hands. Add to a lined baking sheet and put in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to set.



Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 15 second bursts. Add a couple of drops of peppermint essence and stir well. Drizzle chocolate over the creams or dip them in to cover them entirely. Alternatively, you could decorate using edible glitter or however you wish.



These can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.
