Cream Cheese Mints

Step 1

Add cream cheese, butter, mint, and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Use an electric hand or stand mixer to blend for 3-4 minutes. It will be very crumbly.

Step 3

Put away the mixture and continue mixing by hand, kneading the mixture and forming it into a round ball.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, cut the ball into 4 equal parts. Place each portion into a small mixing bowl (like the size of a cereal bowl).

Step 5

Add one color of food coloring to each bowl, except for one which will remain white. Add 3-4 dots of food coloring gel to each. Fold in the food coloring, mixing by hand or with a fork. Mix until the color is solid and fully blended.

Step 6

Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Roll 1 teaspoon sized balls from each bowl. Place balls on a baking sheet.

Step 8

Place the fork in the remaining powdered sugar before pressing into the ball, flattening it about half way down.

Step 9

Allow mints to rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours before enjoying.
