BLOGMAS Day 18 - Peppermint Creams Recipe

"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories

and love of kindred, and we are better throughout

the year for having, in spirit, become a child again

at Christmas" - Laura Ingalls Wilder

A few days ago I told you that my nan and I make two treats every Christmas, Rum balls - see the post here - and peppermint creams. They're so delicious and refreshing plus, super quick and easy to make!

 Ingrediants;

• 450g Icing sugar
• 1 egg white
• a few drops of peppermint essence
• food colouring

*If you want to make chocolate peppermint creams- 100g plain chocolate*

1. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl. 
2. Whisk the egg white in a seperate bowl until its frothy.
3. Then add it to the icing sugar with a few drops of peppermint essence. 
4. Mix it together with a wooden spoon to make a thick paste.
5. Knead the paste with your hands until it is smooth.
6. To make your coloured ones- take some of your mixture and put it into a seperate bowl. Then add one or two drops of food colouring. Mix it well.
7. Use your hands to make small balls of the paste, then flatten to make a disc shape. 
8. If you want to make chocolate peppermint creams, melt your plain chocolate, and coat your discs. 
9. Leave them on a wire rack to harden.
10. Enjoy!

What is your favourite Christmas treat?

 

Merry Christmas.

Love, Han.xo
