About this deal

This is one of those easy candy recipes you’re going to make again and again! Talk about a great sweet treat.

Divide the mints into three bowls, and color one with red and another with green. Be sure to mix it, until well combined and smooth.When coloring the mint dough, start with a small amount of the coloring since you are only tinting a small amount of dough. Add additional food coloring until you get the desired shade. I used gel food coloring. 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?

These creamy mints came together very easily. I can’t believe I’ve never made them before! They’re going to be perfect at Christmas time, an idea addition to my Christmas Cookie trays! STEP ELEVEN: Using the tip of a fork, lightly press the Christmas peppermint patties into little discs. Leave out for 24 hours to completely dry. Use a dough scraper (aka bench scraper) to loosen the mints from the wax paper. Storing the Candy Candy Molds: You can press this dough into a candy mold (or fondant mold) for beautifully designed candies. Molded candies made great gifts at Christmas time. Talk about great holiday treats for sharing! 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?

Prep Tips

These came together very easily. I can't believe I've never made them before! They're going to be perfect at Christmas time, an idea addition to my Christmas Cookie trays!

Mint extract will intensify the minty goodness, almond extract will add a nutty undertone, and coconut extract will infuse a tropical flair into your mints. How To Make This Christmas Mints Recipe IRRESISTIBLE FLAVOR: The combination of peppermint and sweetened condensed milk results in a deliciously creamy, minty flavor that’s both refreshing and satisfying.

Be sure to let the mints sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving if they've been refrigerated, as this allows their texture to soften slightly for the best enjoyment. These easy Christmas peppermint patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Making Christmas Mints at home is so easy and makes the most delicious melt-in-your-mouth mini desserts from cream cheese, butter, sugar, corn syrup, and mint extract.

Flatten With A Fork: Press the Christmas peppermint patties into little discs so that the tines of the fork leave a pretty striped pattern on the tops. MAKE AHEAD: You can definitely make these Christmas mints ahead of time to save yourself some last-minute holiday stress.

Ingredients

Making Cream Cheese Mints has been on my list for several years, with all the other Christmas baking to be done, I just never got around to it. Place them onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat until all the dough balls are coated and on the baking tray. If you enjoy York Peppermint Patties, these taste ever better! The flavor is awesome and the inside is softer and creamier. COLOR: These delicious cream cheese mints can be colored to match any party theme or other holiday. They are great to serve at baby showers or other parties.
