Peppermint Creams the perfect gift for teachers
Instead of something shop-bought, why not make some peppermint creams as a gift for your favourite teachers? Or perhaps as a present for friends and family?
They are simple to make and taste divine. Plus, they only take a few minutes to make. We purchased some little boxes to package them up before giving them to the little lady’s teachers. We have also made them for Nannie and the kid’s mum.
Take a look at the recipe below and maybe give them a go.
This was part one of our homemade gifts and part two can be found here.

The perfect gift for teachers, family and friends
- Lightly beat the egg white in a bowl until it starts to foam, before adding a squeeze of lemon juice.

- Gentle dust the work surface before, transferring the mixture and roll it out until it is about 2cm thick
- We used a small cookie cutter (2-3cm) to cut the individual peppermint creams. before placing them on a dusted chopping board to dry out
- We then wrapped them into little parcels and put them into small presentation gift boxes.

Hey, for an added extra try melting some chocolate and half dipping the peppermint creams into it. Put them on some greaseproof paper to set 🙂
