Fancy mints. These are no cook; the cook time is time to harden. Liquid egg whites from a carton work great for splitting the recipe for two different flavor mints from the same batch. I put 1 1/2 tablespoons liquid egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon extract in each bowl with half of the cream and half of the sugar.
Ingredients:
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon extract
1 tablespoon half-and-half
3 -4 cups powdered sugar (approx)
28 pecan halves (approx)
Directions:
1. Combine egg white, mint, and cream, and gradually add sugar until you can roll the mixture out on wax paper; roll to about the size of a pencil.
2. Slice your roll and press a pecan half into each slice.
3. Let sit until they are firm and dry on the outside (about a day).
