[email protected]Didn't have any candy molds, so I just poured the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and cut it into squares after it cooled. Still tasted great!

[email protected]These were so easy to make and turned out great! I used a candy thermometer to make sure the sugar syrup reached the right temperature, and they came out perfectly smooth and minty.

[email protected]I was disappointed with these peppermints. They were too hard and crumbly, and the flavor was weak. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]These peppermints were great! The flavor was subtle and not too overpowering, and they were nice and smooth. I added a little extra peppermint extract to mine for a stronger flavor, and they turned out perfectly.
