Servings: 80
Ingredients
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 4.5 cups powdered sugar divided

Instructions
- Place the cream cheese, butter, 4 cups of powdered sugar, peppermint exgtract, and food coloring into a large bowl. We recommend starting with 1 drop of food coloring and going up from there. Using a hand mixer, mix together until it has the consistency of wet sand.
- Then, use your hands firmly press the mixture together forming a solid ball.

Notes
- If the mints are a little wet after being stored for an extended period of time, roll in more powdered sugar.
- If the fork is sticking during the pressing process, dip it into the powdered sugar.
