Easter Mints

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup soft butter

• 1/3 cup light corn syrup

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• food coloring 3 different colors

• 3 1/2 cups sifted confectioners sugar

Method

Measure the butter, corn syrup, slat and sugar into a large bowl and mix well; when dough gets too stiff knead it with your hands. Divide dough into 3 portions and add a few drops of each different color to each portion. Pinch off small pieces of dough, roll into balls, and press lightly with a fork.

Yields: 45 mints

Note:

I use red, yellow and green. I had just a drop or two of lemon extract oil, to the yellow ones and a drop of peppermint to the green ones.
