    Homemade Christmas Mints are so delicious. Very easy to make and taste even better than store-bought mints. Whether you are making them for yourself,  as a gift or as a dish to pass at a pot luck or holiday party -they are perfect.

    Homemade Christmas Mints

    Have you been following along with my quest to do a ton of baking and making of candy throughout the holiday season? Hope you have tried Peanut Butter And Jelly Thumb Print Cookies and Almond Joy Cake Mix Cookies, both of these cookie recipes are so good.

    When I decided I wanted to try making some candy, I set out to find a basic mint recipe that as a beginner I thought I could handle.

    I found an easy one at momontimeout.com/easy-Christmas-peppermint-patties.

    After only making a few small tweaks, these mints were great. These mints only take a few ingredients, probably all or most that you have in your pantry. Peppermint Patties are Joe's favorite, thinking I should probably try making a keto version of this recipe.Pretty sure that they would still be great if I substituted swerve sweetener or monk fruit for the sugar.

    Equipment

    • Electric Mixer

    Ingredients
