Pratt's Candy Recipes

Combine all the ingredients and mix well.  Take a little bit and make a balls.  Place in molds of your choice.  Take them out of the molds and place on wax paper inside of containers.  Seal containers and refrigerate.  This makes a lot of mints.  You can freeze these if you like.

Note: If you don't have molds, you can use a fork to press the balls out.
