peppermint creams

So, after that dessert in the My Kitchen Rules final last night; I felt the need.  
The need... 
for Peppermint and Chocolate!
I re-visited a recipe from this book...
I've had this book for quite a long time  :)
These yummies are so easy.  
Basically, the recipe is a stiffly beaten egg white, with lots of sifted icing sugar and a bit of peppermint essence stirred and then kneaded in.  One egg white took almost all of this 500g bag of pure icing sugar... there was about one cup leftover after.
You let the rounds dry out for a few hours, then... 
Hey presto! after dinner mints.
I made big ones, and small ones.  And can I just say; yum.  I'm allowing myself one small one per day, and hopefully the family will polish them all off before my willpower breaks  ;)
I would definitely describe myself as one of the worst cooks in the world.  I'm more of a "meal assembler".  But these are easy enough... you could say; child's play!
