Homemade Altoid Mints

Name: Homemade Altoid Mints
Ingredients: 1 pkg (or recipe) of Gum Paste; Powdered Sugar (just enough for dusting your surface & for tossing the mints in); Essential Oils or Flavored Oils (I used 3-4 drops per egg-sized portion of gum paste. More if you want stronger flavor! Mine were about average.); Food coloring – just a tiny bit is needed! (optional); Citric Acid for “sour” flavors – I didn’t use. (optional); Plastic straw (the fatter the better); I figured the gum paste might prove challenging to find…but I found it in the cake decorating section of my local Walmart. The rest of the ingredients you probably already have on hand.
