OLD-FASHIONED BUTTER MINTS



Old-Fashioned Butter Mints image

These old-fashioned butter mints require just 6 ingredients to make! This recipe makes a big batch, so you'll have lots left over for gifting.

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter, softened (I used unsalted, but salted may be substituted based on preference)
1/4 teaspoon salt (consider omitting if you used salted butter)
3 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar plus 1/4 cup+, if needed
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract*
food coloring, optional

Steps:

  • To the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and salt and beat for 1 minute on medium-high speed.
  • Add 3 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, milk, peppermint, and beat on medium-low speed until a dough forms. If the dough seems wet, add additional confectioners' sugar until dough combines (I use 3 1/2 cups sugar). The dough will be crumbly but will come together when pinched and squeezed into a ball.
  • Taste the batter. If you want a more intense mint flavor, add additional mint extract, to taste (see note below).
  • Remove dough from the mixer, separate it into 1 to 4 smaller balls, and add one ball back into the mixer. Add the food coloring of your choice to the ball by squirting the droplets on top of the dough (careful when you turn on the mixer), and paddle on low speed until coloring is well-blended. Coloring will not blend completely into each and every speck of dough if examined extremely closely, but overall, mix until color is uniform. (I separated approximately two-thirds of the dough and made it green using about 15 drops green food coloring and made one-third of the dough red-pink by using about 7 drops red food coloring).
  • Wash the mixing bowl and the paddle in between each color change and repeat until all the balls are colored.
  • After the dough has been colored, either wrap it with plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to be rolled out later or roll it immediately.
  • To shape the butter mints, place a golf-ball sized amount of dough in your hands and roll dough into long thin cylinders about 1 centimeter wide. Place cylinders on countertop and with a pizza cutter (or knife - be careful of your counter), slice cylinders into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 centimeter long.
  • Store mints in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for many weeks.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BARK WITH PEPPERMINT STICK

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 37m

Yield 20 to 30 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
4 red-and-white peppermint sticks or candy canes, 6 inches long (recommended: King Leo Sticks or Red Bird)
2 drops peppermint oil or extract

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate. Place the peppermint sticks in a heavy, locked plastic bag and crush them fine by whacking and then rolling them with a rolling pin. They should have about the same consistency as crushed ice. When the chocolate is melted, stir in the peppermint oil. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the crushed peppermint pieces and spread the mixture out on the cookie sheet, about 1/4-inch thick. It will not fill the pan completely. Sprinkle the reserved peppermint stick over the top. Let set at room temperature until hardened, about 2 hours. (Or, refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden more quickly.) Use your hands to break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
