List of Ingredients
1 pkg 8oz cream cheese
1/4 cup soft butter
2 lbs. powdered sugar
food coloring of your choice
1/2 tsp peppermint, wintergreen, or lemon extract
Recipe
Combine cream cheese and butter in heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir over low heat until cheese is soft, butter is melted and mixture is thoroughly blended.
Add the powdered sugar and stir until well combined.
Add your choice of food coloring and flavoring. If desired, you may divide the whole batch to make 2 or 3 color choices, adding extract to taste.
*Roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a sheet of waxed paper. Press with fork, or stamp with decorative cookie stamp to form design on top.
Let stand, uncovered about 4 hours or overnight until mints are firm and outside is dry, but inside is still moist and creamy.
*this step is where I fill the molds (I just pressed the mixture in the mold until is filled, let it sit until it is firm enough to pop out, and then let it sit until dry.
