These are such a great idea for parties and you can use any colors for whatever Holiday. These also make adorable Christmas gifts. Package the peppermint patties in a decorative tin can or large mason jar.
Do Cream Cheese Mints need to be Refrigerated?
Yes. We store these Mints in a airtight container in the refrigerator. Look at the expiration date on the cream cheese to see how long they will last. These mints freeze beautifully in an airtight container.
Tips for Peppermint Patty Recipe:
You can dip the patties in melted milk, dark or white chocolate if you prefer. However, we like these just the way they are.
We like to use gel food coloring for this recipe. This keeps the dough from getting too sticky.
Add sprinkles to the mix for a festive look!
