Came across this recipe recently and although I haven't made them yet, I do plan to! They sound yummy! Cream Cheese Mints
8 ounces Cream cheese 2 tablespoons 10 or 15 % cream (half & half) 1/4 cup soft butter 15 ounces White Creamy Frosting (ready-made) 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract Food coloring (if desired)
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. Makes about 8 dozen mints.
