Preparation

Step 1

Dough may be refrigerated.

Roll dough into marble size pieces and roll in granulated sugar, press into a sugared rubber mint mold, sprinkle mint with granulated sugar when out of mold. Mint is made individually. Lay mint on sugared wax paper, and sprinkle with sugar when all is made. Mint must be sugared.
Leave mints out at least over night to let dry. Mints must be dry to store in layer. Mints maybe made ahead and frozen until needed.

1 batch if mints makes approximately 10 dozen
