1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
7 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Peppermint extract to taste
Food coloring

Cream butter and salt together until well blended. Add milk. Add sugar (powdered). Mix well, then remove from bowl and knead to mix well. Add flavor. Divide into separate batches for each color desired. Add a few drops of coloring at a time until desired color is reached, kneading to mix well. You can now roll in balls, roll into logs and then slice. Enjoy!
