"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*
- Sift the icing sugar into a bowl.
- Whisk the egg white in a seperate bowl until its frothy.
- Then add it to the icing sugar with a few drops of peppermint essence.
- Mix it together with a wooden spoon to make a thick paste.
- Knead the paste with your hands until it is smooth.
- 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.
- Use your hands to make small balls of the paste, then flatten to make a disc shape.
- If you want to make chocolate peppermint creams, melt your plain chocolate, and coat your discs.
- Leave them on a wire rack to harden.
- Enjoy!
What is your favourite Christmas treat?
Merry Christmas.
Love, Han.xo
