These mints are so simple to put together, and fun to share. I make them for all sorts of occasions, from baby showers to birthdays. Ingredients:
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) cream cheese |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract |
red food coloring |
3 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Place cream cheese in a bowl; let stand at room temperature to soften slightly. Stir in extract until blended. Tint mixture pink or red as desired. Gradually mix in half of the confectionersâ sugar.
2. On a work surface, knead in remaining confectionersâ sugar until smooth. Divide mixture into three portions; roll each to 1/4-in. thickness. (Flour or additional confectioners' sugar is not necessary for rolling.)
3. Cut candy with a 1-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 5 dozen.
