My Mom showed me how to make these without a Kitchen Aide Stand Mixer. I'm so grateful for the modern mixer!

These mints are delicious, but they're a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making them with a lighter cream cheese next time.

I had a hard time getting the mints to set properly. I think I might have needed to chill them for longer.

These mints are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I was a bit skeptical about these mints at first, but I'm so glad I tried them! They're so delicious and refreshing.

These mints are so easy to make, even for a beginner like me. I was worried they would be too sweet, but they're actually the perfect balance of sweet and minty.

I love how creamy and smooth these mints are. They're the perfect after-dinner treat.

These mints were a huge hit at my holiday party! They're so easy to make and they taste delicious. I'll definitely be making them again next year.
