3 oz. pkg. cream cheese (room temperature)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. flavoring
2 1/4 c. confectioners' sugar
Food coloring if desired

Beat cream cheese until soft. Add coloring and flavoring. Gradually add sugar. Knead until consistency is like pie dough. (For firmer mix add sugar.)

Roll into marble sized balls. Dip one side into granulated or colored crystals sugar. Place sugar side down into cavity of mold pressing from edge to center. Unmold at once onto wax paper.

Note: Use green or pink food coloring with wintergreen flavor. Yellow color for lemon. Pink or plain for peppermint. For chocolate mints add 3 teaspoons cocoa and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
