How to Make Frango Mint Pies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 2 cups powdered sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and let cool slightly before adding to the butter mixture. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and beat for 5-6 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  5. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared liners, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Remove from freezer 10-15 minutes before serving. For an extra touch, sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers before freezing.
