2dropsflavoring (more if desired)I love cheesecake flavoring
2drops food coloring add more coloring until you reach the desired color
1/8cupgranulated sugar for rolling the small balls in
Instructions
Mix the powder sugar, flavoring, cream cheese, and coloring together with a mixer. The mixture will form a ball. It should be the consistency of stiff playdough.
Roll cream cheese mixture into small balls.
Roll balls in the granulated sugar to coat.
Press the sugar-coated ball into the rubber mint mold. Immediately turn the mold over and gently flex so mint falls from the mold. Sometimes if the mixture gets too warm it will not release well. Chill the mixture before proceeding. Sometimes during the process, the mold might become sticky causing the mints to not easily release from the mold. Wash and dry the mold and begin again.
Notes
The great thing about these mints is you can flavor them as you wish. You can use a traditional peppermint extract, but have fun with it and use your favorite flavoring.When adding the flavoring you just need a couple of drops. If you want a stronger flavor add to the flavoring to taste.The same goes for the food coloring. Just add a couple of drops initially and add more if you want a darker color.
