Cream Cheese Mints

1 3-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature, color and flavor as desired

2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Granulated sugar

Beat cream cheese until softened, add color and flavor.  Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar.  Knead the mixture until of a pie dough consistency (a soft or firmer candy can be made by adding or decreasing the amount of sugar).  Pinch off a small piece, form into a small marble-sized ball and roll in granulated sugar.  Press the candy into a soft rubber mold, and shape.  Remove excess and unmold at once onto waxed paper.
