Minty Snowmen

• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• Red, green, blue
• purple liquid or gel food coloring
• Colored sprinkles, nonpareils and cake decorator candies

1. In a small bowl, combine the butter, corn syrup, extract and salt. Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar. Knead by hand until mixture becomes pliable, 1-2 minutes.
2. For each color of dough, combine 1 tablespoon of dough and food coloring; knead until blended. Leave remaining dough white. Roll white dough into a log; remove one-fourth of the log and set aside.
3. For the snowmen's bodies, divide the remaining log into 9 pieces and roll into balls. For the snowmen's heads, divide the reserved dough into 9 pieces and roll into balls. Stack 1 smaller ball on top of each larger ball.
4. Use the colored dough to form hats, scarves and earmuffs as desired. Use candies to make eyes, noses and buttons.
