Cream Cheese Mints Recipe

Combine cream cheese, cream and butter in heavy saucepan. Stir over low heat until cheese mixture is soft, creamy and butter is melted.

Blend in frosting mix and stir to blend well. Add peppermint extract & food coloring.

Roll mixture into balls or drop by the teaspoonful onto waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Press with fork or cookie stamp.

Let mints stand, uncovered at room temperature until firm and outside is dry (about 4 hours). Inside should still be creamy. May be dipped in melted chocolate.
