Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 package (3 ounces) light cream cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
  • 2 drops green food color (or color of choice)
  • 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • Superfine sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Place cream cheese, mint extract, and food color in electric mixer bowl. Use flat beater on mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 30 seconds, or until smooth. Continuing on speed 2, gradually add powdered sugar and mix about 1 1/2 minutes, or until mixture becomes very stiff.

To make mints, dip individual flexible candy molds into superfine sugar. Pres in mint mixture. Turn out onto waxed paper covered with superfine sugar. Repeat until all mixture is used. OR: shape mixture into 3/4-inch balls. Roll in superfine sugar. Place on wax paper and flatten with back of fork lightly on patties to form ridges.

Store mints, tightly covered, in refrigerator. Mints also freeze well.
