SomethingEdible on Video: How to Make Mints for a Wedding or Baby Shower.

My lovely wife and dear daughter recently had a family baby shower to put on; and around here, part of entertaining the shower crowd is making your own mints. Oh sure, you cold buy a big bag of those butter mints and call it done, but if you really want to add a personal touch to that next baby shower that's yours to throw; or even if we're talking about your own wedding reception, then making your own mints is the way to go.

I think that somewhere along the way, we all got duped into thinking that homemade meatballs were difficult and messy to make. Those in the know will tell you that this couldn't be further from the truth. If you've got a cookie scoop and a couple of other kitchen essentials, making meatballs from scratch is as easy as making meatloaf; and just like meatloaf, the best place to cook a mess of perfectly portioned orblets of beef is your oven.
