Low Carb Butter Mints

Ingredients

  • 1 package 8 ounces/1 cup of very soft butter (I used this kind -- I know it's not perfect, but it's grass-fed much of the year at least and very affordable at Costco)
  • 4 Tablespoons raw local honey I might try maple syrup next time! (Many recipes used more sweetener, but I'm trying to keep my carbs low, so it tasted plenty sweet to me! Feel free to add more if needed to your taste. And by the way, it's so good for you if you get honey raw and local, it's a natural allergy-fighting food -- I get it at our local health food store.)
  • A couple dashes of good quality sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract but you could use any type of extract, like lemon or maybe maple!

Instructions

  • Whip it all together, that's it!  I used my beloved Bosch mixer (I've had it 12 years and it's still going strong!), you could also do it in a blender or by hand.
  • You can use a pretty tip and pipe them onto a tray with parchment paper (or drop with a spoon), then freeze.  Once frozen, store them in an airtight dish or a sealed baggie.
  • (NOTE:  Kent didn't like these low-carb butter mints, he thought they tasted like greasy honey, so they may not be for everyone, but they hit the spot for me!)
