Old-Fashioned Cream Cheese Mints

Directions

1. 1
   Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, start adding powdered sugar until you reach the consistency of play dough. This will probably be slightly less than a 2-pound bag of powdered sugar. If the dough is sticky at all, keep adding powdered sugar.
2. 2
   Add a drop or two of flavoring and mix to incorporate.
3. 3
   Add more flavoring if desired.
4. 4
   Place equal portions of the dough into separate bowls.
5. 5
   Add desired food coloring and mix well.To make mints, take a marble-sized portion of dough, roll it in granulated sugar, and press into a mint mold.
6. 6
   Remove mint by inverting the mint mold. The mint should pop right out. Repeat with remaining dough. Store in fridge until ready to serve.
