Fondant - Mint Patties

These are always a staple part of my families Christmas Candy.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 Tablespoons butter (room temp)
• 3 Tablespoons corn syrup
• pinch of salt (most of the time I don't use salt)
• several drops of peppermint oil
• 2-3 cups confectioners sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix the first 4 ingredients and then gradually add the confectioners sugar.
2. Beat mixture until it becomes crumbly, knead fondant until smooth and pliable. At this point I taste the fondant to see if I need to add more peppermint oil.
3. You can either roll out the fondant and cut into pieces to dip for put some melted chocolate in paper cups and put the fondant in and then cover with chocolate.
