Cream Cheese Buttermints

Here is a recipe for the above mints that I made for New Years,

I added the sprinkles, (although the recipe doesn't call for it.)

1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

2 tsp. butter flavoring

1/8 tsp. oil of peppermint

1 (16 oz.) pkg. powdered sugar, sifted

Paste food coloring (optional)

(Dust mint molds lightly with cornstarch before using them). Combine cream cheese, butter flavoring, peppermint, and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl; beat at low speed of an electric mixer until blended. Add a small amount of food coloring; beat at medium speed until blended. (Mixture will be dry. Knead mixture lightly to soften it). Press mixture into mint molds or roll into small balls and flatten slightly. Yield: about 1 pound or 8 dozen 1 inch wafer mints.
