- Add the caster sugar and peppermint.
- (You should have a stiff paste-If you don’t, add more sugar)
- Roll into little balls and leave overnight to set.
- You’ll need a good quality peppermint essential oil to get the strength of flavour needed for these. You can buy it at health shops and chemists.
