this has been my peppermint candy recipe for years. the addition of the condensed milk makes it creamier and more luscious, in my opinion. sometimes i i change the extracts and use food coloring to reflect the flavor. a easy and wonderful recipe. fyi, it is really wonderful with lemon or wintergreen flavor.

I live in Arizona with my wonderful husband and our 2 beautiful daughters, ages 4 yrs old and 2 yrs old. We also have a dog and a bunch of fish.
I am a trained Montessori teacher and Parent Education Consultant. I worked full time as a teacher until just before our younger daughter was born, at the moment I am a substitue teacher and support person at an excellent Montessori School. I would love to someday be able to be home with our girls full time, but for now they both love being where they are so I try not to feel too badly about it all.
I have a huge collection of cookbooks, some of which are still in storage at my mum's. (Moving cookbooks is such a pain!) I also have 5 or 6 file boxes full of recipes, and I'm always adding to it.
