Mom's Cream Cheese Mints
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 2 lbs bag of powdered/confectioners sugar.
- (you may not need the whole bag)
- Food flavoring (peppermint, almond & vanilla)
- about 1/4 tsp or to taste
- Food coloring
- Granulated sugar
Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, start adding powdered sugar until you reach the consistency of play dough. This will probably be slightly less than a 2 pound bag of powdered sugar. If the dough is sticky at all, keep adding powdered sugar.
Add a drop or two of flavoring and mix to incorporate. Add more flavoring if desired. Place equal portions of the dough into separate bowls. Add desired food coloring and mix well.
To make mints, take a marble-sized portion of dough, roll it in granulated sugar, and press into a mint mold. Remove mint by inverting the mint mold. The mint should pop right out. Repeat with remaining dough. Store in fridge until ready to serve.
