You are going to hate me for this. These are so addictive. So creamy in the middle. I like to use Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Chips also. If I don't have mint chips, I use chocolate chips and mint extract to taste. Peppermint extract is really good also. Make up your own combinations. Enjoy! Debbie
