Easy Cream Cheese Mints

Easy Cream Cheese Mints

Making mints may sound complicated but it’s really not. Cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar are combined to create the perfect after dinner treat. My family are huge chocolate mint fans that’s why you’ll find a stunning chocolate fudge grasshopper trifle ideal for a special occasion dessert, dark chocolate mint brownie cookies  and no bake mint chocolate cookie bark in the recipe index both of which are always a hit with my boys.

These mints can be tinted with any color you like and can add to the theme of any holiday table. Spring calls for pastels but, at Christmas you can have fun with red and green or match your holiday decor whatever it may be. For Thanksgiving it would be terrific using autumn shades and seasonal mini cupcake liners for serving.
