1 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 small box vanilla wafers
4 eggs
3/4 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
2 cups sifted powdered sugar

Beat together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate and beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well until really fluffy. Add peppermint flavoring.

Crush the vanilla wafers and sprinkle a spoonful of wafer crumbs into 18 cupcake holders. Spoon in chocolate mixture and sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Freeze, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
