My Mom used to make these every Christmas. I'm spending Christmas with her this year and we made these mints. I really like them so I thought I would share the recipe.
4 Tbls butter or margarine
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 tsp salt
Mix well
Add and knead like bread dough until smooth while adding 1 lb powdered sugar.
Divide into 3 parts and add about 1 drop of food coloring to each portion. Knead to distribute the color evenly. Roll into ropes and cut into small pieces. Layout on was paper to dry slightly before storing.
