How To Make no-cook butter mint patties

  • 1
    Blend corn syrup, butter, extract, & salt. Combine well until smooth and creamy texture.
  • 2
    Add powdered sugar; mix or knead until smooth.
  • 3
    Divide into thirds. Knead food coloring into two of the mounds, leaving the third one white (I have actually used yellow in the third one, cuz I didn't like the 'bland' white...)

  • 5
    Let the candies dry. Makes approximately 72 patties.
