Cream Cheese Mints
1 oz cream cheese at room temperature.
4 drops food coloring
(mint - green,
lemon - yellow, strawberry - pink)
1 tsp flavoring extract as
above
1 T milk
1 pound confectioner's sugar
Stir the above together until
well mixed then add confectioner's sugar. Mix all the sugar into
the cream cheese mixture, kneading it with your hands. When completely
mixed, roll into a large sausage. Break off small amounts and roll into
balls, about 1" diameter. Place balls on waxed paper, and press flat
with fork dipped in confectioner's sugar. Let dry until tops are just dry,
then flip and dry out underside. Store in airtight container so they don't
dry out any further.
Yields 80-90 mints.
