Although I do not know where the original recipe came from, my great aunt made a slightly changed form of this for my sister's wedding. I loved it and have made them multiple times since. This is truly a wonderfully sweet candy recipe.

Categories     Candy

Time 25m

Yield 100 Candies

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1/4 cup butter
1 (15 ounce) box white creamy frosting
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or 1 tsp. of other flavoring - strawberry is my favorite)
food coloring

Steps:

  • Combine cream cheese, half and half, and butter in heavy saucepan.
  • Stir over low heat until creamy and butter has melted.
  • Blend in frosting mix and stir until blended well.
  • Add peppermint extract and food coloring.
  • You can divide into different colors and flavors.
  • Note, though, if you would like to use candy molds or have an itch to try something equally sweet, look into using the Alternative Creamy Mints Recipe.
