"Every time I make these, I end up making multiple batches because they are so addicting and I always have the ingredients on hand. I went searching for this recipe after our neighbors brought by a plate of Christmas goodies with these on it. It's fun during Christmastime to make one batch of green and one batch of red mints. These are a favorite of my Ph.D. mentor, Barbara." - April Ferre
