Instructions: Mix and knead thoroughly; separate and color/flavor as desired. Roll into small balls, then pat into molds or flatten into circles and decorate. Can even be pressed through a cookie press for desired shapes.

Suggestion for tinting: Divide dough into 4ths. Tint pink (flavor cherry or strawberry), green (flavor wintergreen), and yellow (flavor lemon). Flavor the remaining white portion with peppermint oil. Roll candy into balls, press the back of a dinner fork into the balls to flatten. These are very attractive when given alone or added as an accent to a plate of cookies as a Christmas gift. Candy forms a very light crust when dry. Center remains soft and smooth.
