Last night I went to our Guild Christmas Potluck. Our table received a gift for having one of the nicest decorations. The gift was a box of homemade butter mints....they were the best butter mints I had ever tasted, the literally melted in your mouth. When I asked for the recipe I was told that it is an old family recipe and that she does not share. :-( So, does anyone have a recipe that you think might be similar; she also said that it calls for a special technique? :|
