Cream Cheese Mint Candy
4 ounces cream cheese softened ( just halve the standard 8 ounce bar)
1 pound box of powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. This is the one similar to vanilla. Do not confuse with the tiny bottles of peppermint oil.
You can use the oil but it would only take 2 drops.
Mix well to a dough similar to play dough. Pinch off a ball and roll it into a rope.
Slice off with a knife or pizza cutter to small bite size. If you like more of a patty make the pieces a little larger and flatten with a fork.
Refrigerate 90 minutes in fridge or let dry overnight on counter. Flipping them at the halfway point helps them dry. I use parchment paper under them.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will also freeze.
