Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 5 Tbls butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 tsp mint extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • green food coloring (start with a couple drops and add more until desired color is achieved)

  • 10 oz chocolate candy coating (I used CandiQuik)

Instruction

  • Combine corn syrup, butter, extract, salt, and food coloring in a medium size bowl. Stir until well combined.
  • Stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time until mixture is too stiff to stir.
  • Add more powdered sugar and knead mixture until it no longer sticks to your hands, adding more powdered sugar as necessary.
  • Roll into 1-inch balls and place on trays or baking sheets lined with waxed paper.
  • Flatten with a flat-bottomed cup or your hand.
  • Cover with another sheet of waxed paper and refrigerate for 60-90 minutes or until firm.
  • Melt chocolate candy coating according to package directions.
  • Dip the candies into the melted chocolate with a fork, tap off the extra, and place back on the waxed paper.
  • Repeat until all candies have been coated.
  • Let candies set up until chocolate is firm before storing in an airtight container.
  • Candies can be frozen in single layers separated by waxed paper if desired.
