Candy canes left over from Christmas were the inspriation for these Peppermint Balls. A tantalizing center of cream cheese, confectioners sugar and crushed candy was wrapped with a buttery dough, and baked quickly in a hot oven. While still warm, the cookies were rolled in a mixture of more confectioners sugar and crushed candy canes. Similar to the familiar snowballs but with a twist, the cookies were a little labor intensive but yummy, and as a bonus, the leftover sugar coating made a tasty coffee sweetener.
