Marcia

 

1 3-oz pkg cream cheese at room temperature.

4 drops food coloring

(mint - green, lemon - yellow, strawberry - pink)

1 tsp flavoring extract as above

1 T milk

 

Stir the above together until well mixed then add

1 lb confectioner's sugar

 

Mix all the sugar into the cream cheese mixture, kneading it with your

hands. When completely mixed, roll into a large sausage. Break off small

amounts and roll into balls, about 1 " diameter.

 

Place balls on waxed paper, and press flat with fork dipped in

confectioner's sugar. Let dry until tops are just dry, then flip and dry

out underside. Store in airtight container so they don't dry out any

further.

 

Yields 80-90 mints.
