Yes it's true, that really is a TEENAGER SMILING! (she's going to kill me for this picture) The secret, my friends, is unbelievably cute snowman mints that you make yourself.
Here's what you need:
1 Tbsp softened butter (don't substitute)
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp mint extract
1 cup powdered sugar
Mix together butter, syrup, salt, and mint, then gradually add the powdered sugar.
When it becomes too stiff to stir, knead with your hands.
Form dough into little balls to build snowmen. We added food coloring to some of the dough to make little hats and accessories for them. It turned out to be a giant pain in the arse so we turned to our handy dandy food markers and drew on buttons and just ate the rest of the colored mint dough. I do so love tasty mistakes.
After you have your little snowmen all decorated, put them in the fridge to harden.

These are really cute. I remember this recipe from 20 years ago. Thanks for the memory and I'll write it down this time.
