Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the mixture. If you prefer a different flavor, almond extract can be used in place of peppermint for a unique twist. To enhance the green color, add a little more food coloring gradually until the desired shade is achieved. Optional chopped pecans can add a delightful crunch, but they can be omitted for a nut-free version.

Consider using Chocolate Leaves(Use For Garnish) for an elegant presentation, or serve with a hot beverage for a delightful afternoon snack.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover No-Cook Mint Divinity in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid refrigeration, as it can alter the texture and make it sticky. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a short while to soften before serving.
