Cream Cheese Mints

1pkg.(8oz) Cream Cheese
1/4C. Soft butter
2lbs. Powdered Sugar
Few drops of food colorings and desired flavorings/extracts

Combine butter and cream cheese in a large, heavy bottomed pot, on low/med-low heat, until the cheese is soft, the butter is melted, and the mixture is THOROUGHLY blended. Remove from heat. Add the powdered sugar, mixing with spoon, until well combined. Seperate into 2-3 different bowls, adding a couple of drops of coloring to each, along with 1/2tsp of extract, desired flavors to desired colors. I use lemon-yellow, green-peppermint, red-cinnamon/strawberry, use your imagination! Mix each bowl until WELL blended. It's easiest just to form a ball, and knead.
When well blended, take "pinches" and roll into 3/4" balls. Place balls on wax paper, and stamp design with a fork. Let stand 12 hours, or overnight, until the outsides are dry, and the inside is moist and creamy. Another gift giving idea, just place in pretty jars.
