How to Make Alternative Creamy Mints

  1. Combine the condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Stir constantly until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar gradually, ensuring no lumps form. This mixture should be very smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the peppermint extract (or your chosen flavoring) and food coloring. Stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture into a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish or similar sized container.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  7. Once set, cut the mint mixture into small, bite-sized squares.
  8. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and elegance.
