Old Fashioned Pulled Mints
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil the water and add to sugar and softened butter. Boil until mixture spins a thread (hard crack stage).
- Pour out on a greased slab of marble. Add the oil of peppermint and food coloring. Let cool only long enough so that you can pick it up with greased fingers. (Candy will still be hot.)
- Work fast by pulling as for taffy. When candy toughens and starts turning silvery, twist and cut with scissors.
- Put cool mints in can containers and they will "cream" overnight.
