Wow just made my first batch of Organic spearmint xylitol mints! They are super yummy - no "magnesium stearate." I used a half of pound of xylitol ($5) on the stove at 3 heat setting to melt the crystals down. I stirred in $7 worth of organic spearmint oil - one small bottle (from my local food co-op and it is a local essential oil company all organic).
I poured into the 165 cube silicone tray and waited about a half hour. When I popped out the tray - the crystals now were perfect mint size and easily popped out of the silicone trays! I poured into the center of the trays and let it flow outwards. I lost some xylitol on the pan as it cooled and on the edge of the trays. But I filled ONE bottle that would otherwise cost $14 - and now it weighs a couple ounces more -Actually then I third filled another bottle. so it's $20 worth of Xylitol mints at the cost of $12. But these are all organic - so they would have cost more at retail price. A 50% discount. Also there's no magnesium stearate...
Order organic xylitol crystals by the pound (at 1/5th or 20% of the price of the premade xylitol spearmints aka $11.50 a pound vs $14 for 1/4 pound) so - $46 for four pounds organic xylitol crystals plus $56 for the spearmint oil ($100) including tax/shipping vs $224 for the premade - a savings of....$125!!
buy silicone candy molds (135 cubes) or $3 for
