How to Freeze Mints

Keep mints fresh for an extended period of time in a freezer.

Create homemade mint candies to serve during holiday parties, baby and wedding showers, and other special events. Making your own mint treats might be less expensive than buying store-bought versions, and you can customize the flavor. If you made a big batch of mint candies in advance of your event, or if you have a lot left over, freeze them to keep them fresh and tasty. You can store extra, store-bought mints in a freezer as well. Does this Spark an idea?
