Ingredients and Supplies
- 8 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 5-6 tablespoons cold water
- 10 drops cinnamon oil
- 10 drops peppermint oil
- 1 teaspoon butter flavor

In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, melted butter, cold water, cinnamon oil, peppermint oil and butter flavor. On a smooth dry surface, knead until mixture is smooth and the consistency of pie dough. If necessary, add more water, a drop at a time. Color with food coloring. Pinch a small piece and roll into a ball, then roll in granulated sugar. Push into a rubber mold. Remove any excess candy. Turn mold over and let candy gently fall from mold. Let stand at room temperature 2 to 4 hours. Store in an airtight container up to 4 weeks.
