Title: Cream Cheese Mints
Categories: Main
Yield: 1 Servings

1	pk	(8 oz.) cream cheese
1/4	c	Soft butter or margarine
2	lb	Powdered sugar few drops food coloring: red, yellow, green,
1/2	ts	Peppermint, wintergreen or lemon extract

Preparation:

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. (Microwave works well also)

Add the powdered sugar and stir until well combined

Add your choice of food coloring. If desired, you may divide the the whole batch to make 2 or 3 color choices, adding extract to taste. (I divide into thirds and add 1/2 tsp to each third)

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 hrs. or overnight until mints are firm and outside is dry, but inside is still moist and creamy.

These mints are always a great hit!!
