I had trouble getting the mints to set properly. I think I might have added too much butter.

These mints are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I used dark chocolate for the drizzle and it added a nice depth of flavor.

These butter mints are the best no-bake candy I've ever made. They're creamy, minty, and perfectly sweet. I'll definitely be making them again for Christmas.

I'm not an experienced candy maker, but these mints were super easy to make! They came out delicious and look beautiful. The chocolate drizzle is the perfect touch.
