Buttermints were a popular item at wedding receptions when I was a child and was one of my favorite things to eat anytime we went to one. I recall making them with Grandma Allred a couple times and they were a special treat.

The real name is "Creamed Cheese Mints"
Crumble 3 oz. pkg. cream cheese into large bowl. Knead in 1 pound box of powdered sugar. (Reserve 1/2 cup to dust your hands with.) Stir in desired flavoring and color (i.e. mint and food coloring). Roll small pieces into balls. Keep unused portions covered as it will begin to dry immediately. Roll ball into super-fine granulated sugar and press into mold. Level by adding candy or pinching off excess. Bend the mold and the candy will fall out. Allow candy to dry several days before using. Store in air-tight containers.
