    Dont know about the trebor mints but I use lots of icing sugar and an egg white and peppermint essence, roll into balls on greasproof paper, press with a fork to flatten them. When set, dip some of them in melted chocloate half way over.
    But I would also be interested in the Trebor mints one if someone remembers.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    ssh, dont tell the MSE techies, but the best way I've always found, is to go to google, and type in what you want to search for followed by the word moneysavingexpert, better than the forum search tools IMHO
