You'll need:
- 4 c. confectioner’s sugar
- 2/3 c. sweetened condensed milk
- Few drops green food coloring
- 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
Sift confectioner’s sugar onto a piece
of waxed paper. Measure 4 cups. Mix milk and flavoring. Shake 3 drops of
food coloring into a spoon first then mix it in well with the milk. Beat
in sugar gradually. Mix until smooth and the candy gets stiff. You may
think you don’t need all the sugar, but add it. It will work in after
a while. Form into 30 small balls. Place on waxed paper. Flatten with a
fork. You may wish to make pink mints flavored with wintergreen. |
