Cream cheese mints

My brother is getting married in a couple of weeks and I volunteered to make the "mints" for the tables. These aren't actually mints, although you can add mint flavoring to them if you want. My brother's fiance is partial to almond flavoring so I enlisted Miss Chocoholic's help and we spend all afternoon one weekend cranking out about six hundred of these little guys.

The ingredients are simple...a bag of powdered sugar and a box of cream cheese. Mix it all together with whatever flavoring you desire and you can add food coloring if you like. You almost have to just get in there with your hands and actually dump this out on the counter and knead it like dough. It takes a little bit of work to get the "dough" ready to use.Grab a paper plate and pour it full of regular sugar. You will also need a cookie sheet (or six) covered with wax paper and whatever rubber molds you want to use. I used a rose, a heart and a butterfly.You take a marble-sized pinch of the dough, roll it in sugar and press it into the mold. Then you pop it out onto the cookie sheet to let it dry. Once they were dry, we stacked them in layers in a tupperware container and put them in the freezer.It was the perfect project for an April sixth snowstorm. I wondered if the outside wedding would really happen in a few weeks especially since we had a snowstorm again the next weekend.Not looking too good for an outside wedding! Thank God it is melted now!
