Strawberry Mints
Serves 60 | 180 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- Corn Syrup (.33 cups)
- Mint Extract (.5 tsp)
- Powdered Sugar (3.75 cups)
- Strawberry Gelatin (3 tablespoons)
- Unsalted Butter (.5 cups)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large mixing bowl, blend all the ingredients together until fully combined. The dough will be very crumbly. Once you pinch a small amount in your hand, roll until it comes together.
- Make any size mints you like. We recommend using 2 teaspoons of dough, rolling it into a ball, then placing it on parchment paper.
- Flatten each ball with the tines of a fork,
- Allow the mints to sit and get firm.
- After about 3 hours, put them in a bowl on your counter and leave them uncovered. They will get more firm the longer they sit. You may also refrigerate them after 3 hours. ENJOY!
