Cream Cheese Mints

I also made some pink cream cheese mints for our Pink Posse party, celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Everyone loved them!  I'd forgotten how good they are and how easy they are to make.  You can make them for any occasion--weddings, Christmas, showers, etc.

Cream Cheese Mints

1 box powdered sugar (16 oz.)
4 oz. cream cheese
2 - 3 drops of flavoring (I used cinnamon)
food coloring (I used small amount of red)
sugar
flexible rubber candy molds (I used a daisy mold)

In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, cream chese, flavoring, and food coloring. (I started it with a hand mixer.)  Knead ingredients together.  Take a small amount of dough, dip in granulated sugar, press into the mold and release onto wax paper.  Keep refrigerated until served.

Mammo-Grahams

I had a Pink Posse meeting (my breast cancer support group) and we were asked to bring a snack to share.  I remembered seeing a picture of  Mammo-Grahams last year on Pinterest and thought they were so cute.  I was so excited to  try to figure out how to make them and share them with everyone.  They were so easy and fun to make.  And they were a hit!   It was a great way to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Mammo-Grahams

Chocolate Graham Crackers
Regular size Pink Marshmallows (not the mini size)
Red gel icing in a tube

Break the graham crackers in half.  Place a marshmallow on one half and put in the microwave for about 8 - 10 seconds until marshmallow doubles in size.  Quickly remove from microwave and put the other half graham cracker on top, slightly rolling it to make marshmallow come out the side.  Put on a tray or plate to cool.  Add a small dot of the red gel icing to make the nipple.

**I even made some mini ones.  I cut the pink marshmallow into eight pieces and used Oreo Thin Crisps 100 Calorie Wafers.  It was definitely more tedious to work with but they were so cute. Here is a picture comparing the size.
