Cream Cheese Mint Candies

(From Our February 2011 Newsletter - Grandma C.)

Ingredients

• 3 oz. pkg cream cheese, softened


• 3 cups powdered sugar


• 1/2 tsp peppermint extract


• *(optional) - Food coloring

Beat cream cheese and peppermint extract together with electric mixer until creamy.
Add powdered sugar slowly and beat until smooth.
(Note: Mixture may get stiff and difficult to blend with mixer.  You can blend the last of the powdered sugar in with your hands.)
Roll into small, marble sized balls and place on a sheet of wax paper.
Flatten with fork and let them stand for a few hours or overnight.
*To make pastel mints, divide mixture into 4 parts and add one drop of food color to each part, then knead with a fork or your hands until you have an even color.
