  1. This recipe looks amazing! I might have missed it…but I dont see where the peppermint extract should be added… With the oreos and cream cheese or with the white choclate coat?

  2. Do you put the extract in the cookie mixture or in the chocolate? I don’t see it listed in the instructions

  3. Frances Williams says:

    What do you do with the peppermint extract?

  4. What is the yield for this recipe?

  5. Approximately 18 servings, but it depends on how large you make each candy.
