Description

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup light corn syrup

• 1½ tsp mint extract

• green food coloring (start with a couple drops and add more until desired color is achieved)
• 4-5 cups powdered sugar
• 10 oz chocolate candy coating (I used CandiQuik)

Directions

• Combine corn syrup, butter, extract, salt, and food coloring in a medium size bowl. Stir until well combined.
• Stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time until mixture is too stiff to stir.
• Add more powdered sugar and knead mixture until it no longer sticks to your hands, adding more powdered sugar as necessary.
• Roll into 1-inch balls and place on trays or baking sheets lined with waxed paper.
• Flatten with a flat-bottomed cup or your hand.
• Cover with another sheet of waxed paper and refrigerate for 60-90 minutes or until firm.
• Melt chocolate candy coating according to package directions.
• Dip the candies into the melted chocolate with a fork, tap off the extra, and place back on the waxed paper.
• Repeat until all candies have been coated.
• Let candies set up until chocolate is firm before storing in an airtight container.
• Candies can be frozen in single layers separated by waxed paper if desired.
