In a mixing bowl, add butter, cream cheese, mint extract, food coloring and mix until combined.
Gradually, add powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) and continue mixing until smooth.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Chill for 1-2 hours or until mixture is easier to handle.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and form balls.
Tip: It helps to wear disposable gloves to form smooth balls and prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands.
Dip in melted chocolate, if you like. Enjoy!

Chill mixture because it makes it easier to roll into small balls.
Use mini chocolate chips instead of the regular sized chocolate chips.
Dip in them in melted white chocolate, dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate if you like.
You can also coat them in cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
