Holiday Mints



White of 1 egg

1-teaspoon cold water

1 pound icing sugar /confectionery sugar

3 to 4 drops of peppermint flavoring.

2 different food colors



Beat egg white and water (not to stiff). Gradually add up to 1 pound

icing sugar /confectionery sugar. Before adding all the sugar put in

3 to 4 drops of peppermint flavoring. Divide mixture into 3 parts.

Add food coloring to only 2 of the mixtures you will end up with 3

colors (like red, green, and white Christmas colors). Take one of the

colored mixtures and roll in between your hands until about 1/2 "

thick (a snake like appearance). Then take your scissors and cut off

1/2-inch pieces and let harden repeat with remaining colors. These

are so easy to make and fun for kids. They make great gifts and taste

good too.
