Cool peppermint pastilles make a sweet gift for the holidays, and they’re easy to make at home. Confectioners’ sugar and powdered gelatin are used to create pliable dough that is rolled wafer-thin. After the dough is cut into squares and allowed to dry thoroughly, it can be embellished with rubber stamps brushed with food color. The customization possibilities are endless, and picking out stamps for this project is so much fun!
Plan ahead because the mints need to dry overnight, and be sure to use new (unused) rubber stamps that have been washed and patted dry. This recipe calls for meringue powder, which can be found at most craft stores in the baking aisle.
The mints look nice presented in small tins or in glassine bakery bags tied with ribbon.
