I tried an extension I found. It's off by 5 hours...

extension NSDate
{
    convenience
    init(dateString:String) {
        let dateStringFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
        dateStringFormatter.calendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier:
NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)
        dateStringFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"
        dateStringFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier:
"en_US_POSIX")
        dateStringFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
        let d = dateStringFormatter.dateFromString(dateString)!
        self.init(timeInterval:0, sinceDate:d)
    }
}

...

let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
        calendar.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
        calendar.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX")
        let startDate = NSDate(dateString:"2015-12-08 7:30")
        let date = calendar.dateByAddingUnit(.Minute, value: 5, toDate:
startDate, options: [])
*        print (date!) //This is way off. How to fix this?*
