Cream Cheese Mints for Christmas

Making Cream Cheese Mints has been on my list for several years, with all the other Christmas baking to be done, I just never got around to it.

But I will definitely be adding them to my dessert table this holiday season! They are super easy, taste delicious and turned out really cute in these little bite size stars.

Once the basic Cream Cheese Mint Recipe is made, there are endless ways to shape them. You can even use mint molds. This time though, I chose to make them into stars using a piping bag and decorator tip #199.
