These are a family favorite! My grandmother used to make them for weddings and baby showers when I was little. She would have her whole kitchen table filled with beautiful flower-shaped mints. She has passed, and now it’s my turn to make them for events.

Mine aren’t as pretty as hers were, but they taste just as good 🙂 Thank you for sharing the recipe!

Hi Terri! You can remove them from the mold right after pressing them into the mold then let them dry. 🙂

So if i use a mold do I let them dry in the mold or do i invert them and let them dry out of the mold?

i made them pinkish/red with cherry and vanilla flavoring. Next time I might do cherry and almond. 1/4 tsp. of each flavor.

Soft, sweet and just the perfect amount of mint! This recipe is so easy to make and brings back memories from when I was a kid.

I made these this morning. I followed the recipe perfectly, and they are soooo awesome!!!! I’m putting them in decorative containers and giving them to neighbors for Christmas!!

all the things I see say they can be frozen. it is recommended to lawyer them between wax or parchment paper to avoid sticking though.

I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Judy! The storage instructions are right above the picture just before the recipe. 🙂

I thought it was worth it to make a double batch. I got 100 little larger than quarter size mints. I followed the instructions but did add more peppermint extract…for my taste. They turned out well. I saw the question was asked about freezing them but the response was it is in my FAQ. I cannot find it. So…can they be frozen?

Hi Cindy! I haven’t personally tried it, but I don’t see any reason why that wouldn’t work. 🙂

Hi Jenni! Leaving them at room temperature for several hours helps to dry them out, then you can move them to the refrigerator in an air tight container. 🙂

I think that will be ok. 🙂

Hi Kari! I haven’t personally done it, but I suppose it could work. 🙂

Has anyone ever tried to make this with maple extract instead of peppermint?

These are so yummy! With it snowing I had to add SO MUCH more powdered sugar to compensate for the water in the air… like I was adding a cup at a time but probably added three times as much as the recipe called for, heads up if you’re making it on a wintery day. I just couldn’t get them to the rolling, non-sticky stage. My kids loved them!

I’ve always had these mints chilled/cold. But I notice you leave yours at room temp for three hours. What would the difference be?

Would be so much more faster than all the individual balls & molds.
