Delightful No-Bake Soft Peppermint Balls: A Festive Holiday Treat

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • Red gel food coloring
  • Green gel food coloring
  • Optional: Edible glitter or luster dust

Instructions

1. 1. In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, corn syrup, butter, peppermint extract, and milk. Mix everything together until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more milk.

2. 2. Divide the dough into portions and knead in the red or green gel food coloring as desired, creating festive red and green balls.

3. 3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. 4. Refrigerate the peppermint balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set.

5. 5. For an extra sparkly effect, dust the chilled balls with edible glitter or luster dust before serving.

6. 6. Your delightful No-Bake Soft Peppermint Balls are now ready to be enjoyed as a festive holiday snack or given as a thoughtful homemade gift.

Notes

If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon or two of additional milk until you achieve the desired soft, pliable consistency.

For the best texture, be sure to chill the balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows them to firm up nicely.

Store any leftover peppermint balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They’ll stay fresh and delicious.

Feel free to get creative with flavors! Try adding a touch of cocoa powder or chopped nuts to the dough for extra texture and taste.
