Cream Cheese Peppermint Christmas Buttons Recipe

You need something tasty, quick and very sweet for these holidays which are coming. I have the right recipe for you and it is Cream Cheese Peppermint Christmas Buttons.

How cute and festive are these Cream Cheese Peppermint Buttons, these buttons have a really peppermint base and then you give them a decently sized indention and then filled with white chocolate. So good! Peppermint and white chocolate is my absolute favorite winter combo and if you haven’t tried it yet, you definitely need to.

These Cream Cheese Peppermint Buttons are the opposite of those in terms of size, but what they lack in size they make up for in deliciousness. They are little one bite buttons that long to be eaten by the handful.

Peppermint and white chocolate or any chocolate and peppermint are my favorite this time of year. All of us are very busy in these holiday days and we don’t have enough time for everything so this recipe is perfect for us.

These Cream Cheese Peppermint Buttons are very tasty and they look fantastic on the plate. I like this peppermint buttons because you can make them in many different combinations but I mostly make them with white chocolate. Make them in any color you like!

I made them for Christmas every year and you need only a few ingredients: cream cheese, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, red food color, white chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream and crushed peppermint candy for garnish. You can make them very easy and I prefer to make them with my children.

It is very interesting for them especially when they need to roll dough into a ball. These buttons disappear from the plate for a very short time. The best Cream Cheese peppermints you’ll ever try! Incredible easy recipe yields the most delicious, melt in your mouth cream cheese mints around.

They are so easy to make and since you can make them ahead of time, let’s just say that’s awesome. These holidays treats are the perfect addition to cookie trays and make an excellent gift for your friends! Enjoy!
