Homemade mints

           A while ago my mom and I made mints of our own. We made them out of little flavorings and gum paste. You make them by squishing flavorings into gum paste, like kneading dough. But instead of flour, you use powdered sugar. All the flavors kept leaking out of the gum paste onto my hands!

          When we made them, I made mine a vanilla marshmallow (vanillamallow) flavor. My mom's is cherry supermint (above picture). The mint was so strong, the little ones on the top are almost overwhelming! Mine were almost always a favorite though. They were so melt-in-your-mouth, oh-so-soft, and delicious.
