I've had a wonderful but tough journey loosing weight but not an easy journey eating LOW CARB.....this is a journey I will probably be on for the rest of my life. I have found so many tasty and amazing recipes I wanted to share with my friends and fellow Low Carbers.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP CLOUDS

I found this recipe on "Linda's Low Carb" recipe blog:

 MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP CLOUDS 
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature 
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 
3/4 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda 
1 teaspoon peppermint extract 
2 drops green food coloring, optional 
4 squares ChocoPerfection dark chocolate bar, chopped, 40 grams 

Beat everything except the chocolate until fluffy with an electric mixer. Gently fold in the chocolate. Drop by bite-size spoonfuls onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm. Store in the freezer and eat frozen. 

Makes 24 clouds 

NOTE: You can store these in the refrigerator and they will hold their shape quite well as long as they are good and cold.
