Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioner's sugar until fully blended. Mix in peppermint oil. Color as desired with food coloring or leave white.

Notes
I find it easier just to mix it by hand. Knead it like you would bread. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks. I got this recipe from my aunt who loves Christmas as much as I do. She would prepare these every year to serve on Christmas Eve. It brings back very fond memories of growing up and spending Christmas Eve at my aunt and uncle's house.
