No worries and thank you for the quick response ๐Ÿ™‚ Iโ€™m making some today so I may do a small batch to see how it works out. Iโ€™ll let you know if I do.

Hi Tamara! Unfortunately I haven’t tried that so I can’t say for sure how it would work. ๐Ÿ™

Hi Cheryl! You shouldn’t have any issues freezing these mints. ๐Ÿ™‚

Hobby Lobby has them. Something else you might want to try are molds. I have seen baby ๐Ÿผ rattles and more. You could also look o Amazon. I’ve been married for 28 years and we used rose molds back then. now my daughter is getting married and we will be making these. Good luck and happy hunting!

Gosh, I’ve had them for decades. I’m not sure where I got the set. I’m sorry!

I rolled out a little of the dough at a time and used a mini cookie cutter to make little scalloped pink hearts for my daughter’s bridal shower. The dough was super easy to work with. I was thrilled with the results!

Hi Joanne! Is your dough overly sticky? If so, it might need more powdered sugar. Dipping your knife in powdered sugar before slicing might also help ๐Ÿ˜Š

I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Julie! The store-bought ones have typically been sitting a lot longer which is why they are more crisp. ๐Ÿ™‚

The flavor and appearance of these little candies is spot-on, but the texture isn’t the same as the store-bought version. These remain soft, they don’t have that little crunch to them. Still enjoyed them very much!

We hope you love them, Lorry! Let us know how it goes for you ๐Ÿ˜Š

Instead of using the confectioner’s sugar in going to use powdered erythritol, which is a non-sugar sweetener. I’m keto, so I don’t need the sugar or carbs. But the powdered erythritol will make them taste every bit as good as regular sugar. I loved these when I was a kid. I can’t wait to try them!

These were good! I made them to put in the middle of a coconut refrigerator cookie. I am a fan of peppermint so I would put a bit more in. Thanks for sharing your recipe and your helpful hints. I will make them again.

Hi Tanna! I would probable leave them out to dry overnight. That should help them firm up. ๐Ÿ™‚

I just made 4 separate batches for a special Christmas candy giveaway! My question is how Long do they need to dry? They have been on the counter for 4 hrs now & I can easily squish them between my fingers still. Do they get hard? Should I leave them there overnight?
