Instructions
-
Melt Butter:
Start by melting the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Ensure it is completely melted but not hot. -
Combine Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, place the powdered sugar. Add the melted butter and your choice of mint or peppermint extract for a refreshing flavor twist. -
Mix and Knead:
Using your hands, knead the mixture until it forms a solid, non-sticky dough. If the powdered sugar is still dry and powdery, gradually add a small amount of water (about 1 tablespoon at a time) until the mixture comes together smoothly. -
Shape the Mints:
Once the dough reaches the right consistency, shape it into small, nickel-sized mints. You can use your hands or roll the dough into a log and slice it into rounds. -
Enjoy:
Your homemade Tingle Mints are now ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
Tips for Success
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different extracts like vanilla or almond for unique flavors.
- Texture Adjustment: If the mixture becomes too sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it’s too dry, add a touch more water.
- Presentation: Dust the finished mints with additional powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a professional touch.
