Anyone know how to make those fannie may meltaways? like what is the mint coating?
I happen to have the recipe in my Fannie Farmer Cookbook. All the meltaways are is fondant flavored with oil of peppermint. Once they dry, you dip them in melted chocolate.





Recipe for Mint Creams:





Melt one cup of basic fondant in a double boiler over hot water. Stir in 1-2 drops oil of peppermint. Color pale green if desired. Drop by tip of spoon onto wax paper and allow to dry. To coat them after they are dry, melt chocolate confectioner's coating over warm water in a double boiler. Dip the fondant into it and place on wax paper. Allow to dry. To make the green coating, use white chocolate confectioner's coating and add green food color/gel to the coating. Stir until smooth, then dip the fondant into the coating. Allow to dry on wax paper.





If you decide to make your own fondant, you can add the oil of peppermint to the fondant before you let it harden.

The site above teaches you about fondant and how to make it. It is simple for candy makers, but a bit of a challenge since you have to cook the mixture of sugar, water and cream of tartar to a soft ball stage or a certain temperature on a candy thermometer to make it turn out well. You'll need to understand this terminology in order to cook the fondant which is the heart of the meltaways.





I've made these myself for family and friends.


Good luck!

Here's the candy melts that would make that coating:

You would need a recipe for the truffle-like center, then coat them in a candy shell.
