Ingredients
  • 8 oz. cream cheese (I only use Philadelphia regular - not Neufchatel for this recipe)
  • 2 lbs. powdered sugar
  • 1/4 c. butter , softened (real butter, please)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp. peppermint extract, to taste
  • food color, if desired
  • granulated sugar, for rolling

Directions
  1. ***Cook time includes drying time***
  2. Mix all ingredients, except coloring, until smooth. Add coloring, if desired. Chill at least 1 hour.
  3. On counter, sprinkle a generous amount of granulated sugar. Roll out mints into long ropes. Cut off small bits and shape as desired (I usually roll into balls and flatten with a glass).
  4. Let sit on waxed paper sprinkled with granulated sugar for 8 hours. Store covered in refrigerator.

I've never had them, but they sound rich and creamy! Have you ever dipped them in chocolate?
Am bookmarking this for Christmas. If I make everything I bookmarked for the holidays, I'd be in the kitchen 24x7!
