    Creamy Mints


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 pound box 10x sugar (4 cups)
    1/4 cup unsalted butter
    3 TBS. boiling water or more
    1/4 tsp. peppermint oil or any other flavor desired
    food coloring
    granulated sugar

    Combine ingredients adding flavoring last. Cream well with hands
    until consistency of pie dough. If too sticky, add a little extra
    10x sugar. Chill about 15 minutes. Roll into small balls. I used
    candy molds to shape the mints. Roll the balls in granulated sugar
    then press into the candy mold-sprinkle the back of the candy with
    some more granulated sugar the release the candy from the mold onto
    waxed paper.

    For chocolate candies-flavor with 2 TBS. cocoa and 1 tsp. vanilla

    Allow candy to sit out uncovered to harden about 8 hours. These
    freeze well. Makes about 80 candies. I used small rubber candy
    molds like snowmen, Christmas trees etc. for the holidays. You
    can make any shape for any occasion, these are pretty and tasty.
