Step 1

Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, start adding powdered sugar until you reach the consistency of play dough. This will probably be slightly less than a 2-pound bag of powdered sugar. If the dough is sticky at all, keep adding powdered sugar.

Step 2

Add a drop or two of flavoring and mix to incorporate. Add more flavoring if desired.

Step 3

Place equal portions of the dough into separate bowls. Add desired food coloring and mix well.

Step 4

To make mints, take a marble-sized portion of dough, roll it in granulated sugar, and press into a mint mold. Remove mint by inverting the mint mold. The mint should pop right out. Repeat with remaining dough. Store in fridge until ready to serve.
