Gradually add the powdered sugar to the softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Stir by hand, do not use a mixer. Add a few drops of the peppermint oil at a time.

When the desired minty-ness is achieved, separate the dough into two or three bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and stir until color is consistent.
