I tried this recipe 3 times and could not get it to turn out It was like eating a mint flavored sugar cube. I followed the recipe EXACTLY even using the marble slab. After the first time Irealized how fast it set up so try and try again . Iwould still like to have a recipe like this that works. I am very determined. It may have been just me though

So glad I found this website and this recipe again. My mom, grandmother and I used to make it for several years as Christmas gifts for friends and coworkers. We'd make mints of different colors. We'd make flavor varities such as spearmint (our favorite) as well as raspberry, strawberry, vanilla etc. We'd have different colors for each flavor. Warning: you will really need a candy thermometer to determine candy temperature. Be careful, mixture is HOT and I burned my hand once while trying to pour it. You also have to work VERY FAST with pulling the candy and cutting it before it sets up, because it starts setting up fast. It's best to have several family members present to help because it "moves fast." Great recipe for inexpensive gift giving. I think we'll try it again this year!

This is a great receipe. I have made these before but had lost the receipe. Since my receipe had been handed down over the years I wasn't able to replace it until now. Pulling the mints make all the difference. My mother and I used to make a double batch and hers were always better. She always got more pulls in than I did. This is a fun receipe to make with friends. The success isn't in the receipe but in the candy maker. If you fail the first time try again.
