Cream Cheese Mints

Coming up in the next few weeks I am throwing my soon to be SISTER-IN-LAW a bridal shower!!!!! I'm so excited for her to become apart of my family and for them to spend forever together. I couldn't have asked for a better person to be my brothers wife and my "sister". I have nothing but respect and admiration for her and all she's done.

Needless to say I'm honored to plan and throw a party in celebration of her becoming part of my family!.

Last night I tried something, that only one person in my family has done and sadly she did not get the chance to show her daughters before she passed. I can say mine were good but definitely not as good as my Aunt Kathy's were. 


Cream Cheese Mints

3 Tablespoons (about 3 oz) Cream Cheese
4-4 1/2 cups powered sugar
flavoring
food coloring

Let the cream cheese soften. Beat cream cheese till its fluffy about 2 minutes. Add in the coloring and flavoring. (I used raspberry flavoring and colored it a light purple)
Slowly add in the powered sugar a cup at a time, beating until well combined.

ingredients and
what my dough looks like

(Dough will be soft and elastic.)

using the fork to do designs

Roll dough into small balls about 1/2 teaspoon in size, and place each ball in sugar and roll it around until its covered. Then you can either use a mold, a fork, or your thumb to make a design in them.

Finished mints!!!

Place them on parchment paper in an air tight container. They store in the fridge for 4 weeks.









For my First time making them they were pretty dang good!

Hope you enjoy these as much as we will at the party!!


Have a wonderful day!!!!
