I remember as a child going over to my Great Aunts house and she always had a candy jar filled with these mints! My sisters and I would sneak into the living room and eat them all!

Total Time 24 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 24 hours

Yield 200 mints

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1 (1 lb) box confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
2 tablespoons heavy cream or 2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon mint extract
red and green liquid food coloring

Steps:

In large bowl, beat butter until creamy. With mixer on low, beat in sugar, cream and extract until creamy and smooth.
Turn sugar mixture out onto a work surface lightly dusted with confectioners’ sugar; knead until smooth and satiny. Divide mixture into thirds: Tint one pastel pink (2 drops red color), one pastel green (2 drops green color) and leave remaining portion white. Cover each portion with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
Line 2 baking sheets with nonstick foil. Lightly dust work surface with confectioners’ sugar. Working with one color at a time, roll out 1⁄4 cupfuls of the mint mixture, using your fingers, into a 1/2-in.-thick rope. Cut rope into 1/2- to 3/4-in. pillows. Transfer mints to prepared baking sheet with a spatula (be careful—mints are soft and will squish easily). Repeat with remaining mint mixture.
Let air-dry at room temperature for 1 to 2 days until firm enough to handle. Transfer mints to covered containers.
Can be stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature up to 2 weeks, or keep in refrigerator up to 1 month.

BUTTER MINTS RECIPE | MARTHA STEWART

Butter Mints Recipe | Martha Stewart image

Drop the candy thermometer! Making melt-in-your-mouth butter mints is as simple as sculpting Play-Doh (which means the kids can help). Whip up the four-ingredient dough, chop it into gnocchi-like pieces, and let them dry. Then package handfuls in parchment-lined tins to give as holiday gifts.

Total Time 12 hours 35 minutes

Prep Time 35 minutes

Yield Makes 10 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1 tablespoon whole milk
Pinch of kosher salt
Gel food coloring, such as AmeriColor in Soft Pink, Avocado, Super Red, and Fuchsia (optional)

Steps:

Combine butter and 2 cups sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until sugar is moistened, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until well combined. Return mixer to low speed, add remaining 2 cups sugar, and mix until well combined, 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until light and fluffy, 6 minutes more. Add peppermint extract, milk, and salt; beat until smooth.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with confectioners' sugar and turn out "dough" onto it. Divide into 5 pieces; tint as desired with food coloring, leaving one piece white. (Keep covered with plastic wrap while working to prevent drying.)
Roll "dough" into 1/2-inch-thick ropes, then cut into pieces slightly over 1/2 inch long with a paring knife or bench scraper. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Let dry, uncovered, at least 12 hours. Mints can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

CHRISTMAS BUTTER MINTS RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING

No proper Southern tea party, wedding reception, or baby shower is complete without a candy dish brimming with delicate buttermints. Traditionally colored in a rainbow of pastel hues, they are light and crisp with a buttery richness, a refreshing minty flavor, and a texture that melts in your mouth. The classic recipe is a little tricky and requires expert candymaking skills. But with our simplified Christmas Butter Mints, which require no cooking and only a few kitchen staples, you can whip up a batch in no time. When freshly made, buttermint dough has the consistency of modeling clay. You can roll it and cut it with fanciful cookie cutters, press it into candy molds, or simply roll it into logs and cut into pieces with a sharp knife. The mints need 24 hours to rest and dry, uncovered, before they'll be firm enough to serve.
