Ingredients:
- Soft Peppermint stick King Leo Tin, King Leo Box, Bob's Sweet Stripes (bag)
- Lemon - whole
Where to find soft peppermint sticks:
I bought the King Leo soft peppermint sticks from Amazon because I couldn't find any in my area. I bought this particular piece because it can in a tin and I felt they had less of a chance of breaking in transit. I had read some reviews that others would break when shipped. They are also individually wrapped so there is less chance of humidity taking over and making them a sticky mess.
Bob's Sweet Strips are another option. They both work and everyone has their favorites.
Instructions:
- Slice a lemon in half around the circumference. Some people cut the top third off but I find that the short sticks do better in half a lemon. Also, if this is a fundraiser you have a better profit margin if you can sell two vs. the one.
- Use a little knife to make a small X in the center of the lemon and press the soft porous peppermint stick into the center.
Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
