    Great for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, any type of event where you will have finger foods. Any flavor can be added. Get creative. There are tons of things you can do with these mints. One idea, for christmas, divide mint in half, color one half green and other red. Roll out flat, and set one color on top of other, then slice to make patties. Looks great, tastes even better.

    • 1/2 Cup butter, melted

    • Peppermint oil (or any flavoring you desire)
    • Food coloring (if you want)
    • 2 pounds confectioner's sugar
    • Granulated sugar, optional (needed if using rubber molds)

    3. Add confectioners sugar, a small amount at a time, blending well after each addition with a spoon and then with hands. (Add additional confectioners sugar if neccessary.
