Cream cheese mints

Easy to make and really yummy!

From my friend Jen

She says: You can add food coloring to make them any color you want. You can also use flexible candy molds for different shapes. To make the process faster, roll the mixture in a long roll and cut the mints in slices.

Ingredients:
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
3 cups powdered sugarfood coloring
sugar

Directions:
Stir together cream cheese, peppermint extract, and several drops of food coloring. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until mixture is smooth. Knead in the last of the sugar with your hands. Form mixture into 3/4-inch balls. Roll each ball into sugar and place on waxed paper. Flatten with the bottom of a glass or a fork. Cover mints with paper towels. Let dry overnight. Store tightly covered in refrigerator or freezer. Makes 45-60 mints.
