We have the individual candy molds used to make your own home made mints for a shower, birthday party, or specialty themed event. It's a very easy recipe and a very easy do-it-yourself candy. We also have the Lorann Oils to add as flavoring. With these molds, you can make fancy candies like a professional and most certainly impress your friends!
To make DreaMint Candies, cream 8 oz. of cream cheese and gradually add 2 lbs. of confectioner's sugar until well blended. You may use a heavy duty mixer to blend most of this, but the last 1/2 lb. or so of sugar will need to be mixed in by hand. Divide this mixture into 3 or 4 bowls. Add a few drops of flavoring oil and a few drops of food coloring (liquid or paste will do) until you have achieved the desired color and flavor. Flavor and color combinations might include: Peppermint mixed with green, lemon with yellow, strawberry or watermelon with pink.
These are candy shoes that I made for a themed event last summer. The roses and leaves are perfect for just about any party, and we have a nice assortment of other molds listed on our website. Follow this link and scroll to the bottom of the page to see the other molds that are available.
For a little variety, the candies can also be dipped in melted chocolate.
Loved this post! Twenty-two years ago, my mother-in-law made teal-colored, rose-shaped mints with this same recipe and molds as favors for our wedding. Thanks for helping me re-live a fun memory -
ReplyDeleteWhat an utterly pretty idea for a tea plate. Your colors just remind me of spring time. You make it sounds so easy.
ReplyDeleteI have molds for baby showers and tea parties (teapots). I take the easy way out and use Candy Melts with liquid candy flavoring. Your mints look very pretty.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like a recipe I could have success with! Thanks for sharing it!
