Recipe - Merry Mints

1/3 cup Corn syrup light
One half cup Butter or one stick
2 tablespoon Peppermint extract
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 pound Confectionery sugar
Food coloring

Mix all of the ingredients except for the food coloring. Knead the candy
for 10 minutes. Color while kneading the candy by adding a few drops of
food coloring at a time to get the desired color. refrigerate for 2 hours.
Roll out to desired thickness and cut into desired shapes. (I use 1 inch
circles or hearts. (do not make the shapes too large.)
