How to Make Alternative Creamy Mints
- Combine the condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Stir constantly until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar gradually, ensuring no lumps form. This mixture should be very smooth and creamy.
- Add the peppermint extract (or your chosen flavoring) and food coloring. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish or similar sized container.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
