These festive, no-bake treats are tender, rich, and full of refreshing peppermint flavor—ideal for holiday snacking or homemade gifts.
Step 1: Cream the Butter
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth, light, and fluffy.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
Slowly add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and peppermint extract. Continue beating until the mixture forms a smooth, firm dough.
Step 3: Divide and Tint
Separate the dough into two portions. Leave about three-quarters plain white and tint the remaining portion with red gel food coloring to your desired color.
Step 4: Shape the Mints
Roll small pieces of each color into thin ropes. Twist one red rope with one white rope, then pinch or cut into small bite-sized pieces to form individual mints.
Step 5: Let Them Set
Place the mints on parchment paper and allow them to air dry for 1–2 hours. For best results, let them dry for up to 24 hours before serving or storing so they fully set.
