  I followed the recipe closely and it tasted great, but i found the mixture too runny to roll into a sausage or sheet so ended up presenting the peppermint creams in petit four cases. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the recipe, i dont know!

  I am planning to make these for Christmas and have bought Peppermint Flavouring. Just wondering if there is a difference in peppermint (like with vanilla essence as opposed to extract) - will Peppermint Flavouring be as good as Peppermint Essence? Thanks!

  I had the same problem with them being runny. Is this because of the cream in the recipe? I will have a go without the cream I think or just less cream. Any advice most welcome :)

  I've been making peppermint creams for years and have never used cream? I don't have any problems with them setting so I'd suggest if you are having issues just remove the cream I do think that is the culprit :)

  I just added a small amount of cream, not the amount specified and they turned out lovely. Made mine yesterday and the children have nearly finished them already!! Next time I think I will try decorating them with the chocolate instead of just dipping them. Will make a lovely present at Christmas time.

  From general research raw egg is a bit dodgy in the fact that you should not offer to the young, the old & pregnant women! So with this in mind but you decide to use raw egg (also difficult to find an answer to length of time they keep) I would judge by the time you would boil an egg and put in fridge for later as a snack say, for me no more than 48 hours. Otherwise use a substitute such as pasteurised egg white powder or don't use egg at all. I have made them in the past without and they were fine, although I like the idea of the cream as they can be a little too sweet. Hope this helps hayley :0)

  A very nice recipe but I found that it needed a hell of a lot more icing sugar than stated as it was quiet runny. After adding more icing sugar though it became a lot easier to work with and looked and tasted great. Definately going to make them for xmas, with the amount of sugar in them I recon they will last months!
