Homemade Mints
["1 (4 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened at room temperature", "1 stick butter or margarine", "2 boxes 10x confectioners sugar", "3 drops oil of peppermint (may have to get at drugstore)", "3 drops food color of your choice"]
["Mix all of the ingredients by hand. I use waxed paper and divide into 3 sections. Knead until soft enough to roll into a long thin roll. Cut either with scissors or a sharp knife. Let stay on waxed paper for about an hour, then store in airtight containers in the refrigerator. These will last for quite some time when stored this way."]
