Cuisine American, Amish
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- a few drops of peppermint oil or two teaspoons of peppermint extract
- several drops food coloring of your choice (opt)
- melted chocolate for dipping
Mix cream cheese which has been softened to room temperature, with powdered sugar.
Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add peppermint flavoring and coloring. Now roll into small balls and dip into melted chocolate OR roll in granulated sugar.
If desired, the sugar-coated version may be pressed into molds.
They will not need to dry in molds, as they will keep the shape as soon as formed. Chill and enjoy!
