Making sure everyone would be able to take them home, I had to package them. Because really, with all the other treats, who is going to eat a mint? ME!
After mixing the mint "dough" plop it on a cutting board.
Divide into sections to color.
Add a drop of food color to each section until you get your desired color and form in a little mint mold. Sorry, I guess I stopped taking photos, I have a short attention span.
Here they are before getting "dressed" for the party.
Cream Cheese Mints
8 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
2 lbs. powdered sugar
2 drops mint flavored oil
2 lbs. powdered sugar
2 drops mint flavored oil
Mix all ingredients together. Add food coloring, one drop at a time until you reach the desired color. Mix until all color is blended. Roll into small balls then dip in sugar. Press into molds and pop out immediately. It will make approximately 200 mints.
It Was Mint To Be!

Aww thanks - it's be just a few very short years! :)
Deleteoooh sweet. I already have oodles of molds because I make homemade peanut butter cups. Now I can make homemade mints too :) These look so tasty too :)
ReplyDeleteMy family makes cream cheese mints for weddings, etc. My grandmother swears by using half rum extract and half whatever flavor that batch will be. They are certainly tasty!
ReplyDeleteOh my, does that sound good!!
DeleteHow long will these mints keep? I'm making them for a baby shower I'm helping host so I need to know how soon I can make them.
ReplyDeleteYou can make them today and stick them in the freezer between layers of wax paper! They freeze great!
DeleteI had lost my recipe and I thought this is all I needed. haven't made them for years. Like maybe a couple times since pregnant with first child.
