Butter Creme Mints

3 Tbsp butter (softened)
2 tsp candy flavoring
1 lb powdered sugar
3 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
food coloring
Blend butter, condensed milk, candy flavoring (peppermint or favorite). Gradually add powdered sugar until mixture is stiff. Add desired coloring, a drop at a time. Knead mixture until blended and is a consistency to handle well. Roll into small balls. Roll balls in granulated white sugar. If using a candy mold, mold and unmold at once. If not using a mold, mash out the balls into mint size. Freezes well; keep wrapped. Makes 60 mints.
