I know that my mother used to make these cream-cheese sugar candies with molds, and I think I may be able to dig up the recipe, but did you mean plain sugar shapes, like you'd put in tea or coffee, or shaped sugar candies?
XOXO, Libbie

Hi joni-
if you google this there are some sites out there that tell you how to do this. Basically it is just sugar and water and then you let them dry for a long time. |

try here for suger cube ideas
http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf29050649.tip.html
here is a receipe for sugar eggs ( easter) just modify for your use
http://www.recipegoldmine.com/childseason/childseason15.html
you could use jello molds the rubber ones so you can pop them out to dry on a cookie sheet onces it dries just put them in an air tight container you can use the same molds for the cream cheese mints listed below.
yep I make cream cheese cadies every chirstmass you can get molds at shepards cake and candies in Provo utah.My mother in law taught me.

The rubber molds are not on their web site but you can call they have them in the store.
here are our two family recipes for cream cheese mints
#1
1 8 oz cream cheese softened
1 tsp flavoring or tot aste
food color to suit ( I use cake frosting food coloring paste)
2 lbs powderes sugar
Mix cream cheese, flavoring, and color, add powdered sugar and mix to a dough -like consistency. Press into glycerine-coated, rubber molds that have been dipped into granulated sugar. Pop out
#2
1 8 oz cream cheese softened
1/8 oil of peppermint
color
1 2/3 c confectioners sugar
Mash cheese, add flavor & color, mix in sugar. KNead with hands until like pie dough. Roll in marble size balls, place on side in small amount of granulated sugar; press sugard side in rubber mold pop out
I am not sure but the second one may be the one that came with the molds from Shepards I don't know for certain as they are hand typed in the family receipe book I was given from my mother in law one christmas. I use the first one as that is the one my husband made as a kid so that is the one he likes. Now I want to make some looks like another tutorial is needed. Maybe.
have fun making them

I got this email and thought maybe others have this same question so I am sort of forwarding it to here
Question about Cream Cheese Candies?
Do they keep in an airtight container or must they be refrigerated? And if they keep in
airtight at room temperature..what is the shelf life? .if you know please?
I'd like to make these but wanted to know if they'd ship well or if it's just those
candies that you have to keep refrigerated.
Thanks so much.

We have never kept them in the refrigerator I guess you could. We always set them out to dry some and give away. They don't last long at my house as they get eaten quick but I think they are fine for one two two weeks we have had them that long before the older they get the more they dry out and become more like the hard cream mints from the store. We always keep them on plates or in the cookie jar only in the cookie jar though after a few days because if you do it to soon they glue all back together in one big mint hard to eat that way. we just store at room temperature.
take care sunshine

I knew I could count on you girls. I have been away from the computer a couple of days out "horsing around" with the barn. I am so glad that I finally found out how to make them and the cream cheese candies sound out of this world.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
you girls are the greatest.
