Minty Snowmen
Each year I choose a different decorating theme for my holiday kickoff party - last time it was snowmen and snowflakes. These cute little snowman mints were fun to make and drew lots of smiles. -Shelly Rynearson, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
8 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Red, green, blue, yellow
and/or
purple liquid
or
gel food coloring
Colored sprinkles, nonpareils and cake decorator candies
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the butter, corn syrup, extract and salt.
Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar. Knead by hand for 1-2
minutes or until mixture becomes pliable.
For each color of dough, combine 1 tablespoon of dough and food
coloring; knead until blended. Leave remaining dough white. Roll
white dough into a log; remove one-fourth of the log and set aside.
For the snowmen's bodies, divide the remaining log into 8-9 pieces
and roll into balls. For the snowmen's heads, divide the reserved
dough into 8-9 pieces and roll into balls. Stack 1 smaller ball on
top of each larger ball.
Use the colored dough to form hats, scarves and earmuffs as desired.
Use candies to make eyes, noses and buttons. Yield: 8-9 snowmen.
