In this post I’m going to show you how to make luscious soft Christmas peppermints, also known as Butter Mints. They’re perfect for Christmas or any time of year. Butter Mints? What are They? Tantalise someone’s taste buds this festive season with something from our scrumptious selection of ideas – we promise you’ll find something that tastes just as fab as it did when you were little. Our delicious delights will no doubt rekindle childhood memories, from tongue-tingling, old-fashioned bags of candy canes to melt-in-the-mouth Lindt Lindor chocolate balls. Yes, you can! Just make sure they are not overly big or they may not dry properly. You can mix them up with mini cookie cutters or even roll into balls. Personally I believe they should be in bite sizes though so just be careful on not making them *too* big. If I use extract, can I use a different extract than Peppermint? Divide the cream cheese mixture equally among three bowls. Stir green food coloring into one of the bowls so the cream cheese mixture is a bright green. Repeat the process with one of the other bowls of the butter mint mixture so that it is bright red. Leave the third bowl white and un-dyed. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and chill for about an hour or until firm.

Powdered sugar - This ingredient not only sweetens the mints but also affects the texture; always sift it to prevent lumps, which can affect the consistency of your mints.Make The Dough: Beat together the cream cheese, butter, corn syrup, and peppermint extract until smooth.Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. Add 2 drops yellow food coloring (or any color you like) and increase speed to high and beat until smooth and a dough forms.

Mint flavoring - You can utilize either peppermint extract or peppermint oil, though the oil is more concentrated and will give a stronger flavor; adjust the amount to your liking.I think butter mints are typically peppermint, however, places like Micheal’s or Hobby Lobby have an amazing baking aisle with tons of other extract flavors. I would def encourage you to test out a few other ones like cotton candy and strawberry extracts. You could really have a lot of fun with this recipe base! Just remember that oil and extract is usually a 4: 1 ratio (as in you need 1 tsp of extract to contain the same flavor as 1/4th tsp of oil) Oils are stronger and therefore superior for a butter mint recipe and you also need to balance the liquid content when making things like mints.
