How To Make no-cook butter mint patties

Step 1

Blend corn syrup, butter, extract, & salt. Combine well until smooth and creamy texture.

Step 2

Add powdered sugar; mix or knead until smooth.
Step 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...)
Step 4

Shape into small 1/2" balls. Flatten on waxed paper with a fork that has been dipped into powdered sugar.
Step 5

Let the candies dry. Makes approximately 72 patties.
