Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1-2 drops black food coloring
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for dusting)
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and peppermint extract. Mix well until the ingredients come together to form a dough-like consistency.
- 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.
- Dust a clean surface with granulated sugar and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- 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.
- Let the mints dry uncovered for at least 3 hours or overnight. This will ensure they harden and hold their shape.
- Once the mints are dry, store them in an airtight container until ready to serve. They will stay fresh for several weeks.
- Serve the vampire breath mints at your Halloween party and watch your guests enjoy the chilling sensation!
