1 tsp Flavoring
3 1/2 c. ( 1 lb ) sifted confectioner sugar Large bowl Wooden spoon Paper plates Pencils

This is a no-cook recipe the children can mix with their hands. Flavor it with any of the liquid flavorings in the supermarket, such as strawberry and lemon. If you want, you can instead divide it into three portions and add in a few drops of food coloring to tint it yellow, red, and green. The knead a small amount of flavoring into each one.
This recipe makesabout 1 1/2 lbs of candy. Help the children measure all the ingredients into the large bowl. They can take turns stirring it with the wooden spoon till it becomes too stiff. Then they can knead it with their hands. They should continue kneading till the dough is smooth. Give each child a paper plate and a pencil.
Tell them to turn their plates OVER and write their names on the Bottom to prevent pencil lead from getting on their mints. Help them hold their pencils correctly. Make sure they use upper and lower case letters. Give each child a portion of dough on his or possibly her plate. The children can healthy pinch off pcs, roll them into balls, and press them lightly with a fork to make a fancy butter mint. Children who can't roll the candy into balls can make snakes, cut the snakes into pcs, and press the pcs with a fork. They might eat the pcs with the fork, but which's ok too.
Leave the mints on the plates and chill them for 30 min, till they become hard. Easter Mints taste even better the second day, if you can keep everyone from eating them all on the first day.
