This candy dish was one of my favorite finds at an estate sale. My grandmother had one just like it and she used to keep butter mints in it. They were always so soft and buttery and delicious. I loved the way they would just melt on my tongue. That dish was the second thing I went for after we arrived for a visit (the first was a big bear hug from my grandpa of course).
I looked up a recipe for butter mints one time and they are actually made of butter and sugar and peppermint oil. No wonder they were so delicious. I still haven't tried to make them yet, but I would really like to someday so that I can keep them in this dish for when *my* grandkids come to visit! (Hopefully they'll go for a gram hug first, ha!)
Do you have a favorite childhood candy? Did your grandmother have a candy dish? I'd love to hear the story! 👵🏻🍬💖
