Mint Creams

1/3 Cup butter, softened
1/3 cup white corn syrup (Karo)
¼ tsp salt
3 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp peppermint oil

Mix together all ingredients except flavorings. Add flavorings and food color if desired. Knead well. Roll into little balls and mash with a fork. Let set overnight.

(I usually make red and green. I also often roll them out with a rolling pin and cut with the inside of my doughnut cutter into little circles.)

These are also great dipped in chocolate.
