1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until soft. 2. Add desired food coloring and flavoring. 3. Gradually add icing sugar, mixing and kneading until mixture has a putty-like consistency. 4. If you want a firmer texture, just add more icing sugar. 5. Roll mixture into balls the size of a marble. 6. Dunk one side of ball in a small amount of sugar, granulated or the coloured crystal sugar used on xmas cookies; try to match the colour with the colour and flavour of the balls. 7. Place ball, sugar side down, into cavity of a plastic candy mold, pressing from edge of mold to centre. 8. Immediately unmold onto a waxed-paper lined tray. 9. To make chocolate candies, add 3 tsp cocoa and 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract. 10. Let candies stand out in the open to harden for at least 24 hours to become firm, then place in freezer or refrigerator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
