Ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoonvanilla extract
Food coloring of your choice (optional)

Step 3: Press and Shape
Using a fork or a small cookie cutter, press down on each ball of mint to create a pattern or shape. You can also use your fingers to shape the mints into hearts or any other desired shape. Sprinkle some granulated sugar on top of the mints for added texture and sweetness.
Step 4: Let it Set
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about an hour to let the mints set and harden. Once they are firm, take them out and store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
