Lorene decided that we HAVE to have mints. So knowing nothing about the whole process I googled it, looked for an easy recipe and jumped in with both feet.
I found an easy recipe.
And away we went.
Lorene still had to text while working. Isn't this such an innovative generation.
Cream Cheese Mints
1 8oz. pkg cream cheese
1 2# bag of powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. peppermint flavor (or other flavor as desired)
gel color
I mixed it all up in the mixer, using not quite all of the powdered sugar which I used when I kneaded the color in to keep it from getting sticky.
I also kneaded it on a cutting board to keep my counter from turning colors.
I was very happy with the results.
The finished product!

That looks like a fun time! I thought about making mints but found a graduation mold for chocolates instead. We've made a few hundred mints over the years with graduations and weddings! Fun to see.
And they were sure good too. I've always liked homemade mints.
dear MintyMom,
I had to taste one, and yes, it was good. They were lovely to look at too!
love,
Sorry i can't remember if there were mints or not at my graduation
