Cream Cheese Mints

Submitted by Gruenes

"This is a family favorite mint recipe. Our favorite flavor is almond, but you can use whatever flavor you like. You can make these for weddings, picnics, family gathering or just to have around the house. I like them frozen the best and they just melt in your mouth."
