Here are several to choose from.



Allow 5 pounds of nuts per 100 people.
Allow 3 pounds of mints per 100 people.


Wedding Mints

Below are recipes for the tiny sugar mints often served at wedding receptions.
These are usually done in the bride's color theme and her favorite flower-shape, etc.
They are very easy to do. You only need one single mold of each shape.
There are many shapes to choose from. You can make these ahead and freeze them.


200 mints

1/2 c. butter
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 lbs (.9 kg). bag of confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp butter flavoring
1/4 tsp peppermint oil (or 1 tsp extract) - oil is nicer

Leave butter at room temperature until soft. Heat cream until warm.
Mix all ingredients by hand. It will be stiff, so you may have to use hands to
knead until smooth.
Add color as desired and continue to mix by kneading.
Press into mint molds to form. Remove from forms.
Place on waxed paper. Let set overnight to dry.
Turn and let other side dry. Store in covered container.
These keep a long time, and freeze well.

Internet Note: This is a very easy recipe as well as very good, always lots of compliments on these mints. They are time consuming to make if you are not experienced.


Butter Mints

4 cups (950 ml) powdered sugar
5 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter
4 Tbsp. evaporated milk
10 drops peppermint oil

Mix all ingredients in mixer. Roll into small balls. Press into candy molds. Chill.
NOTE: Small amount of your favorite food coloring may be added during the mixing phase. They are excellent!


Wedding Mints

1/2 cup Butter or margarine
1 tsp Salt
2/3 cup Sweetened condensed milk
7 cups Confectioners sugar; sifted
Desired colors
Oil of peppermint or other desired flavor
Yellow rubber mint mold
Granulated sugar for dipping candies

Cream butter and salt together until well blended. Add milk. Add sugar.
Remove from bowl and knead until mixture is well blended. Add flavor and color.

To Mold:
Shape a marble-sized piece into a ball, press into granulated sugar, taking care NOT
to coat back. Press firmly into the yellow-flexible mint mold. Immediately unmold.
You can unmold these directly onto a pretty serving dish or tray and, pieces not being
coated on the bottom, they will remain in place.

TIP: If mixture sticks to the mold, add slightly more confectioners' sugar. Let set uncovered,
for a few hours, for desired firmness. Cover tray with plastic wrap.
Makes about 200 mints. Recipe can be halved. Amount depends on size and choice of mold used.


Creamy Mints

1 pound box 10x sugar (4 cups)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 TBS. boiling water or more
1/4 tsp. peppermint oil or any other flavor desired
food coloring
granulated sugar

Combine ingredients adding flavoring last. Cream well with hands
until consistency of pie dough. If too sticky, add a little extra
10x sugar. Chill about 15 minutes. Roll into small balls. I used
candy molds to shape the mints. Roll the balls in granulated sugar
then press into the candy mold-sprinkle the back of the candy with
some more granulated sugar the release the candy from the mold onto
waxed paper.

For chocolate candies-flavor with 2 TBS. cocoa and 1 tsp. vanilla

Allow candy to sit out uncovered to harden about 8 hours. These
freeze well. Makes about 80 candies. I used small rubber candy
molds like snowmen, Christmas trees etc. for the holidays. You
can make any shape for any occasion, these are pretty and tasty.

Secret Ingredient Cream Cheese Mints

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
2 Tbsp. half and half
1/4 c. soft butter
1 pkg. (15 oz.) white creamy frosting mix

Food coloring, as desired

Combine cream cheese, half and half and butter
in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir over low heat
until cheese mixture is soft, creamy and butter is
melted. Blend in frosting mixing well. Add
peppermint extract and food coloring. Divide to
make several colors. Roll into balls or drop by
teaspoon onto waxed paper. Press with a fork or
stamp with design if desired. Let stand,
uncovered, at room temperature until firm and
outside is dry. The inside should still be creamy.

Makes about 8 dozen.

4 T butter, softened
3 T sweetened condensed milk
4 cups Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp spearmint flavoring
2 drops green food coloring or color of choice

Rubber Candy Molds

Blend softened butter and condensed milk together. Gradually add powdered sugar
until mixture becomes stiff. Add flavoring and coloring a little at a time to
reach desired color and taste.

Roll into small balls. Roll balls into granulated sugar.
Press ball into candy mold. Unmold at once.
Makes about 90 candies.

For use later: Quick freeze on a cookie sheet. Place between
layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. Better when made
ahead a week or two.

dust with fine granulated sugar and press into rubber or plastic molds.

Pastel Wedding Mints

1 box powdered sugar
½ stick margarine or butter (1/4 c.)
Pinch salt
Evaporated milk
Oil of peppermint (purchase at pharmacy or health food store)

Mix powdered sugar, margarine, and salt. Add evaporated milk as needed to
make consistency of thick icing. Use 5-7 drops of oil of peppermint. Be
careful not to use too much as it is stronger than the mint bought at the
grocery store. Rely on our own taste after 5 to 7 drops. Use a pastry
bag to make the mints the size and design you want.

3 tablespoons soft butter
1/4 cup cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons peppermint flavoring

Answer 2

I have it! Yep, sure do, it's in the PCC Cookbook

Cream Cheese Wedding Mints
8 oz cream cheese
Food coloring (your choice)
2# powdered sugar
1/8 tsp flavoring (your choice)
Granulated sugar for rolling

Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and flavoring in a bowl (best if you use dough hooks on your mixer). Don't worry that the batter is a little dry, don't add more liquid than what is needed. Remove from bowl and knead. You may add food coloring if you desire. Roll into small balls and then roll the balls in granulated sugar. Press into molds or slightly flatten balls. Remove from mold. Lay on wax paper to dry at least overnight. Turn over and dry on other side. Usually dry 24 hours on each side. If keeping longer than a couple of weeks, they need to be frozen. You will only need a single mold of each shape you want to use. NOTE: This recipe is a forgotten treasure that is a special treat at weddings. There are usually done in the brides colors and theme. They are very easy to make but time consuming. In our family we had a party to make the mints, that was fun because the women could talk, laugh and share memories. Have a great time!
