These are OK but nothing great. They do have a light mint flavor which is not overpowering. -
Oh, Heavenly Day! These were SOOOO awesome! I could not believe how easy and how beautiful these turned out. These are going on the Christmas trays for SURE! I halved the recipe, but now I wish I'd made double! I'm not sharing these either. Thanks for posting, Hon! -
I tripled the recipe to make 12 dozen Snow Balls for my Christmas Bake Exchange. I iced them with green frosting and dipped the tops in coconut. These are a great addition to any baking tray, Thanks!

I love to cook. I also love to garden, both vegetables and flowers are my passion. I enjoy the great out doors, also, looking for new and interesting recipes to make for my family. Baking in the cooler fall and winter months fills the home with such wonderful aromas, plus living in the Great Lakes State, sometimes you do not see the sun for weeks. So filling the home with inviting aromas with fresh baked breads, cakes, cookies or hearty stews and soups is a must to lift the spirits! Canning is another one of my passions. I love the taste of "Good " home canned produce, expecially when it comes out of my garden! The produce truly is a gift From God, and I am very thankful for it!
Hobbies: I live on a mini farm, raising Chickens and turkeys. I also have 5 German Shorthaired Pointer dogs that take up a lot of my time. I also enjoy playing cards and get togethes with family and friends.
Health: I'm always looking and researching on what things makes us healthy. I really enjoying researching on line different new products for good health. Somethings I order, just don't pan out, while other, have really helped my health improve. I always try to go the natural way. I would love to some day buy all organic cotton bedding, cloths, but that can be very expensive.
