Cream Cheese Mints
If stored in airtight container, these can be frozen for a couple of months. They can also be made into pretty shapes by rolling balls of mint in granulated sugar, pressing into candy molds, and dropping them out.Ingredients needed:
1--3 ounce package cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 drops peppermint oil
1 drop red food coloring (optional)
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, butter or margarine, and confectioners' sugar. Mix in peppermint oil, adding additional drops to taste. Color with food coloring if desired.
Roll mixture into small balls, and place on waxed paper. Flatten with a fork dipped in confectioners' sugar. Let dry for about 2 hours on waxed paper, and then freeze or refrigerate.
If anyone would like to make these wonderful mints and bring them to the station we would be more than happy to eat them for you!!
Thank you and happy baking!!!
