Don't blame me if you become addicted to these mints! They're easy to make and a great end to a good meal. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 3 1/2 cups Confectioner's sugar shopping list
- 1/8 - 1/4 t Peppermint flavoring shopping list
- food coloring as desired (red, green, yellow) shopping list
- 3/4 Granulated sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Cream the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar and peppermint flavoring in a large bowl. Don't even think of using a mixer!
- Divide into as many portions as you want colors.
- Add one drop (but I always do more) of color to each portion and knead well. I keep my bowl of confectioner's sugar next to my kneading bowl and dip into it as needed to get a nice solid consistency and color.
- Pinch off pieces and roll into 1/2 inch balls. I like to vary the size so there is a selection from small (for those who say they are dieting) to large.
- Roll the balls in the granulated sugar and place on waxed paper or a silicone sheet (my preference).
- Press down with a fork or flatten with the bottom of a glass. You could use molds if you have them for fancy shapes.
- Chill. I place mine in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes then transfer to an airtight container.
- Keep in the refrigerator but do not freeze.
