Friday Food Fun!!!

I spent yesterday with a dear friend,
and we had the most wonderful day!!!
We only get to see each other about 3 or 4 times a year, but we are "e-mail buddies"!!!!!
She shared this recipe with me, and it sounds so simple and yummy.....
trouble is.....I think I would gobble them all up in a heartbeat!!!!
See what you think!!!

Pumpkin Mints

1 Box (1 lb) Confectioners Sugar
1- 3 oz. Pkg Cream Cheese, softened
Peppermint flavoring
Orange food coloring, or mix red & yellow
Whole cloves
Round toothpick


Mix together softened cream cheese and confectioners sugar.
Add peppermint flavoring to taste.
Mix in food coloring.
Roll into small balls (approx. 1 inch)
Score sides of balls with sides of round toothpick to resemble a pumpkin.
Insert whole clove in top of each pumpkin mint to garnish.
Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.


Thank you, Ms. Dawn, for sharing this yummy treat with all of us...and thank you for such a special day!!!


Remember......it's not long 'till Christmas!!!



Please note: the picture is a bit different than described in the recipe; those shown have a green stem, instead of the whole clove.



In His Love...and with mine!!!
