Poppable, sweet, and delicious, they&#8217;ll go faster than the spiked Egg Nog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Crush the Creamy Wheels (filling included) in a food processor until you have fine crumbs.<\/p>\n<p>Add the softened cream cheese and blend until smooth and thick.<\/p>\n<p>Scoop out the mixture using a small cookie scoop or large spoon, and then roll each scoop into a ball between your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes in the freezer.<\/p>\n<p>While the balls are chilling, melt the Vanilla Almond Bark in the microwave. Place the Bark in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1-minute increments at 50% power, stirring between each heating, until melted and smooth.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: If the mixture is too thick for coating the balls, you can add a little vegetable or coconut oil to thin it out.<\/p>\n<p>Once Creamy Wheel balls and melted Vanilla Almond Bark are ready to go, place a frozen ball on the tines of a fork. Carefully dip each ball into the melted Bark.<\/p>\n<p>Roll the ball around until it\u2019s coated, and use the fork to pick it up. Carefully shake off the excess coating.<\/p>\n<p>Gingerly place each coated ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet by gently shaking the ball off the fork until it\u2019s on the parchment paper.<\/p>\n<p>To decorate, select a handful of the red Christmas Mints and crush them into small pieces. Then top the coated balls with the crushed Mints while the coating is still wet.<\/p>\n<p>Once decorated, place the baking sheet of peppermint balls in the refrigerator to set the coating.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy right away or refrigerate for up to three weeks.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61824\" src=\"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Best-Choice-Peppermint-Balls-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Peppermint Balls\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":85141,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"recipe_category":[3],"recipe_tags":[4,49,62,63,64,65],"class_list":["post-85140","recipe","type-recipe","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","recipe_category-dessert","recipe_tags-dessert","recipe_tags-chocolate","recipe_tags-candy-cane","recipe_tags-creamy","recipe_tags-holiday","recipe_tags-peppermint"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/85140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recipe"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/85140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=85140"},{"taxonomy":"recipe_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestchoicebrand.com\/superiorselections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_tags?post=85140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
