Tools:

• Candy mold

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon Peppermint Oil
• 2 cups confectioners sugar (add more if mixture is sticky)
• Icing Color
• Granulated sugar

Blend cheese with Peppermint Oil* and color; mix in sugar, knead until mints are firm.

Add additional sugar if needed.

Roll in balls, place one side in a small amount of granulated sugar, press sugar side down in candy mold (unmold at once), or flatten with bottom end of glass on waxed paper(if you don't have a mold)..

* Start with 1/4 teaspoon and add a few drops at a time to reach desired flavor. Flavor will intensify as mints stand.
