Creamy Pastel Mints for Valentine’s Day

With Valentine’s Day comes all kinds of sweet things, right?   Sweet valentines, sweet gifts, and sweet candy.   While many will stock up with store-bought candy, on the other hand, why not make something homemade?  These Creamy Pastel Mints are not only darling but delicious too.

Creamy Pastel Mints for Valentine's Day!! Fun, delicious and easy to make for gifts. livelaughrowe.comI’ve been dying to make some Creamy Pastel Mints for a while now and, well, when I found the perfect size heart cutter, I just couldn’t resist.

Creamy pastel mints are also known as cream cheese mints.  They certainly have a perfect balance of cream cheese and peppermint.  I love them!  Is your mouth watering a bit right now? Hee hee.

Recently I had the idea to make small heart-shaped creamy pastel mints, but I had to find the right size cutter.  I remembered seeing mini metal cutters in the oven-bake clay section of the local craft store.  

What do you know, they had a mini heart (it was in a set with other geometric shapes).  Score.

Nevertheless, it was the perfect size for these, similar in size to the conversation hearts.

Creamy Pastel Mints for Valentine's Day!! Fun, delicious and easy to make for gifts. livelaughrowe.comTo clarify, you can make these creamy pastel mints in all shapes and sizes.  In addition, they could be used for so many different occasions too:  showers, birthday parties, weddings and more. So, keep an eye out for small cookie cutters.

Aren’t they the cutest?  I filled these little Clear Tubes (pictured size: 3.75″ x 1″) and wrapped the top with pink, red and white bakers twine.
