Time 30m

Yield 40-80 quarter-sized balls, 20-40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

0.5 (4 ounce) package cream cheese (ROOM TEMP!)
3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
extract (personal choice)
food coloring (optional)
almond bark or chocolate
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (ROOM TEMP!)
2 lbs powdered sugar
extract (personal choice)
food coloring (optional)
almond bark or chocolate

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together cream cheese with powdered sugar(added gradually). Wooden spoon works best.
  • Form together in a big ball.
  • Knead on a counter (not floured, if needed use a little powdered sugar) for a couple minutes to ensure dough sticks together well.
  • Make a big ball again, indent center, and add extract according to your taste. Knead the extract through and taste test to see if more extract is needed.
  • Do the same with food coloring. (I flavored mine mint and colored them green!).
  • Roll into no bigger than quarter-sized balls and set on a plate. Put into freezer until hard(5-10 minutes?) or you can put them in the fridge for the next day.
  • Dip into melted almond bark or chocolate for fancy, inexpensive candies!
