Certs candies??

[ILBS]

Hi,

Newbie here and I’m a little discouraged!

Typical ingredients used in test:

Butter
Sugar
Corn starch
Milk Powder
Pepermint extract

And it’s just not coming out???

I am trying to make a white candy mint with the consistency of the popular candy mint “Certs” !

Can anyone provide some advice on what recipe or ingredients I need to use to obtain this result?

Thanks

For a candy like Certs, you might want to try a basic recipe with 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp corn starch, 2 tbsp milk powder, 2-3 tbsp melted butter, and 1/2 tsp peppermint extract. Mix the dry ingredients first, then add the wet ones and adjust as needed to get a dough-like consistency. Press the mixture into molds or shape by hand, then let it dry for a few hours or overnight. If it's too dry or too wet, tweak the amounts of butter or powdered sugar. Keep experimenting until you get the right texture.
