Cream Cheese Mints
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
2 Tbs half and half
1/4 c. soft butter
1 pkg. (15 oz.) white creamy frosting mix
1 tsp peppermint extract
Food coloring, as desired
Combine cream cheese, half and half and butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan.
Stir over low heat until cheese mixture is soft, creamy and butter is
melted. Blend in frosting mixing well. Add peppermint extract and food
coloring. Divide to make several colors. Roll into balls or drop by teaspoon
onto waxed paper. Press with a fork or stamp with design if desired. Let
stand, uncovered, at room temperature until firm and outside is dry. The
inside should still be creamy.
Makes about 8 dozen.
