Easter: Easter Mints




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1/3 c Soft butter
1/3 c Light corn syrup
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Flavoring
3 1/2 c ( 1 lb ) sifted confectioner's sugar
Large bowl
Wooden spoon
Paper plates


Recipe



Flavor it with any liquid flavorings. If you want, you can instead divide it into separate portions and add a few drops of food coloring to tint it.

Then knead a small amount of flavoring into
each one.

Measure all ingredients into the large bowl stiring with a wooden spoon until it becomes too stiff.

Then knead it until the dough is smooth.

Put portions of the dough on a paper plate to work on.

Pinch off pieces, roll them into balls, and press them lightly with a fork to make a fancy butter mint.

Leave the mints on the plates and refrigerate them for 30 minutes, until they become firm.

Easter Mints taste even better the next day.

Cover with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator.


YIELD: This recipe makes about 1 1/2 lbs of candy.
