They are made with peppermint extract, sugar, and a touch of black food coloring for that extra eerie touch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1-2 drops black food coloring
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for dusting)

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and peppermint extract. Mix well until the ingredients come together to form a dough-like consistency.
  2. Add the black food coloring drops to the dough and mix until the color is evenly distributed. Add more drops if desired for a darker shade.
  3. Dust a clean surface with granulated sugar and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  4. Using a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut out mint shapes from the dough. Place the mints on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Let the mints dry uncovered for at least 3 hours or overnight. This will ensure they harden and hold their shape.
  6. Once the mints are dry, store them in an airtight container until ready to serve. They will stay fresh for several weeks.
  7. Serve the vampire breath mints at your Halloween party and watch your guests enjoy the chilling sensation!
