These are very decadent, but quite good and easy. I wouldn't eat them very often if I were dieting. The amount varies, as you can cut them to whatever size you like. When I made them they came out to about 60 pieces, so I'll use that number. Ingredients:
1/3 cup unsalted butter |
1/4 cup whipping cream |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon mint extract or 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract |
4 cups powdered sugar |
food coloring (optional) |
Directions:
1. Put butter, whipping cream, and salt into a pot and heat almost to a simmer, stirring often.
2. Turn off burner.
3. Add 3/4 tsp mint or peppermint extract and stir.
4. At this point, you can also add the food coloring if you like, and also stir.
5. Add 4 cups powdered sugar.
6. Stir, then knead until smooth.
7. Take small pieces and roll like a rope.
8. Cut into bite-size pieces with clean pair of scissors.
