These are from Helen Jones, a member of the Sewing Bee at my church. She is a fine quilter and even finer person.The passive time (chill time and waiting to harden) I count as cooking time . This recipe was not as easy for me as it sounded, so I am updating the recipe as I learn better how to make these mints. Yes, they were worth the trouble! Everyone loved them!... so did I... Ingredients:
1 lb confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons butter (softened) |
3 teaspoons peppermint extract |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup evaporated milk |
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine confectioner's sugar, butter, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract.
2. Add evaporated milk and mix well.
3. Drop 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon into small bowl of confectioners sugar.
4. Dust fingers with the sugar for easier rolling.
5. Roll into small balls and place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.
6. Chill for 20 minutes.
7. Flatten with a glass to 1/4 inch thickness.
8. Chill for 30 minutes.
9. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips.
10. Dip patties and place on a waxed paper to harden.
