You are not alone in this........me too - I am just the same with peppermint creams!!!!
What is your recipe please..... maybe I should not be asking..........

[MaureenHall]

send them to me!!! I just fancy a peppermint cream

[Finedon.Dandy]

PM me with your addresses and we will see for a laugh if they survive the post office!

Very easy to do;

Icing sugar (tut tut!)
oil of peppermint and very little water to mix to rollable dough

Cut into your favourite shapes. We did leaves then snow balls when we got fed up with rolling and cutting, rolling and cutting!

Lid is now on the box and I am getting on with some bits - poss cos I am on a sugar high! Off to consultant soon to discuss my dodgy thyroid!

I suppose then you could...if you were so inclined - dip them into plain melted chocolate?

You should try having 36 packets of mint poppets under the stairs. Damn those cash and carry types!!!

Also have a 3Kg pack of gummy bears (Haribo) and 15 packets of liquorice 'flyers' with kali (raindbow crystals) inside.

Well, I did...all are depleted somewhat, now!

I made some that were in the cook vegetarian mag, made into little snowmen complete waste of money they are horrible I need to throw them in the bin along with the truffles that were also in the mag.

i love after eights, managed to keep a box, unopened, from november. once opened it lasted 2 days! what a honker ! the diet started yesterday, so as much as i would love to take some off your hands finedon, i just cant risk having anything tempting in the house.

If i had a 3kg pack of gummy bears, I wouldn't have them for long, and I wouldn't share!!!

[Glutton4...]

I'm like that with Haribo Sours and the Maynards sharp Fruit Gums.

They make me dribble like the dog!

Now if I'd known sooner we could have done some swapsies, the OH made a tonne of homemade cointreau truffles. I've been inviting people round for the past week for coffee and chocolate.
