Nahhh, I'm gonna call it a learning experience, and hopefully never do it again!! I tasted one and it was AWFUL!! Too much mint and not enough sugar to balanace it! Really terrible. Almost put me off mints totally! But I have to remember that when made properly, mint in candy can be delicious!

I've wasted entire batches of candy that didn't turn out right before. I just try not to do that, but it happens sometimes!
