6. Green mints need about 3 drops of green food coloring, and pink mints need about 1 drop of red food coloring.
7. Add the food coloring to the cream cheese mixture and mix until the desired color is reached.
8. Put the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip and make about nickel sized amounts on the parchment lined sheet pans.
9. Place sheet pan in the freezer for 2 hours to allow the mints to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy!
