8 ounces cream cheese
1 to 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
Powdered colors (see Note)
2 pounds confectioners' sugar
Granulated sugar

Mix cream cheese, flavoring, color and confectioners' sugar together by hand until it resembles pie dough. Roll into small balls and roll in granulated sugar (which will keep them from sticking to the mold). Press into desired mold, and pop out immediately. Can be eaten immediately or will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator if stored in covered containers. Note: Do not use liquid colors
they make the mints too sticky. Makes 150. Per mint: 37 calories (percent of calories from fat, 13), less than 1 gram protein, 8 grams carbohydrates, no fiber, less than 1 gram fat, 2 milligrams cholesterol, 5 milligrams sodium.
