:-) (Yield is approximate, depending on the size of molds. Prep time is based on the curing time. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (at room temperature) |
1/2-1 teaspoon flavoring, as desired |
food coloring, as desired |

6 3/4 cups icing sugar |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until soft.
2. Add desired food coloring and flavoring.
3. Gradually add icing sugar, mixing and kneading until mixture has a putty-like consistency.
4. If you want a firmer texture, just add more icing sugar.
5. Roll mixture into balls the size of a marble.
6. Dunk one side of ball in a small amount of sugar, granulated or the coloured crystal sugar used on xmas cookies; try to match the colour with the colour and flavour of the balls.
