Hi Kelly! These should work just fine to be pressed into a candy mold. πŸ™‚

Hi Lisa! Are you in a humid environment? You can try drying them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.

These taste amazing but I dried them overnight and if you squeeze them too hard, they’re very squishy so they didn’t dry completely through. Did I do something wrong or is this supposed to be the texture?

Hi Marguerite! You will just use 2 cups in the step 2. The remaining 2 cups come in step 5. πŸ™‚

Hi Kyra! These can be dried out overnight. They are a soft melt in your mouth mint. πŸ™‚

Hi Nichole! Unfortunately I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure how it would turn out. πŸ™ If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. πŸ™‚

I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Ivy! I have a bunch of different baking pans. I typically use USA pans. I do have a store on my website that links to the different tools I use. πŸ™‚

Tasted a bit different after chilling , but still delicious!!! By the way , what brand of baking pan do you have , as I only have one baking pan , so I can't make layer cakes. Thanks!]]> 4 stars
Really nice recipe! They took about 3 hours to make [ not counting chilling time ]. Tasted really yummy! 😊 Gave them for Christmas presents. Tasted a bit different after chilling , but still delicious!!! By the way , what brand of baking pan do you have , as I only have one baking pan , so I can’t make layer cakes. Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing! Why can’t we dry them out so they last a little longer than 2 weeks in the fridge. The ones I’d always eaten were crunchy as store bought kids cereal!

I made 6 batches to give as gifts. It was harder than I expected to make the rope as the dough shred apart using a back and forth motion. I found just rolling in 1 direction, and cutting the rope, so I was never working with more than 6 inches worked best.
I used oil instead of extract.
Put into pretty cellophane bags, they were a huge hit as gifts. I would definitely make them again.

Hi Christie! The longer they sit out, the more firm they will become. πŸ™‚
