Christmas Cream Cheese Mints

Traditionally served at weddings, cream cheese mints also look great on holiday platters.  You will find a lot of recipes for these little bites of buttery and creamy goodness and I have tried enough to know that they all pretty much yield similar results.

Cream Cheese Mints

When it comes to cream cheese mints, there are two kinds- you can make a delicious cream cheese mint that basically consists of cream cheese , powdered sugar and extract or a little more refined wedding cream cheese mint that has a butter flavor (that recipe is here under Homemade Butter Mints). No matter which mint type you chose, you still get a gorgeous and rich wedding mint. You can easily eliminate the butter from this recipe for no affect on the end result.

In this recipe case, I made Christmas Cream Cheese mints, which are super fun on a holiday table along side Christmas Cookie Dough Dip and a Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball. You can adjust these for ANY holiday by changing out the sprinkles or adding a drop of food coloring.
Can I use a mold for my Cream Cheese mint?
