  3. Infuse with Mint Flavor: Add about 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the mixture and mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Adjust Consistency with Liquid: Add milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the mixture is firm and pliable.
  5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to ensure they are evenly distributed.

  7. Chill to Perfection: Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Keywords: Start with a small amount of mint extract and adjust to taste, as it can be potent. For a smoother texture, consider pulsing half of the oats in a food processor before mixing.
