Peppermint Creams
Such a nice recipe, I can make them as minty as I like! Made for Christmas as 'keep them quiet before lunch' nibbles, they went...
Sue04 

Icing sugar, sift

225g

Natural peppermint extract

1-2 tsp

Edible glitter

Plain chocolate, melted

55g

You will also need:

small icing or biscuit cutters

Step 1 of 3

Put the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually mix in the condensed milk to make a soft dough (you may not need all the condensed milk). Add the peppermint extract and mix until you have a smooth, kneadable dough.  Add a little more icing sugar if the mixture gets too sticky.

Step 2 of 3

Dust a clean surface with plenty of icing sugar and roll out the mixture to 5mm (¼") thickness. Cut into shapes with the icing or biscuit cutter or you can cut them however you like with a knife. Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours or leave in a cool place to dry (about 2-3 hours).
 

Step 3 of 3

Drizzle the peppermint creams with the melted chocolate or dip to coat one half. Allow to set. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container and use within 3 weeks.
 

You could cut these into thin squares and when dry dunk them gently into melted dark chocolate until they are completely coated.  Leave to set for home made version of After Eights!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Peppermint I love mint chocolate! I used this peppermint cream recipe to make peppermint fondant to sandwich between a layer of biscuit and a layer of chocolate. Tastes just like a Viscount biscuit (but better). My friends and colleagues love it when I make this treat tray!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic First attempt at making these and I was pleased with the result. The recipe was very easy to follow. I used dark chocolate which complemented the peppermint flavour well. These were quick to make and are ideal for a little extra birthday gift.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Carnation Peppermint Creams I made these in the school cookery classes in the 1960’s. They were delicious then,such a treat, and now I have downloaded the recipe to make over the weekend. Now aged 74 years they are still my favourite. Thank you for the memories way back then.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely recipe I've been making these from a Carnation recipe for MANY years now. Never had a failure yet. I cut them into rounds and half dip them in dark chocolate. Delicious!
